Ever wanted to write a program that reads exactly like rock song lyrics? In this hands-on workshop, we'll explore the pure joy of creative programming through Rockstar – a language where your code IS the lyrics. This isn't about AI or machine learning – it's about having fun while solving real programming problems by writing rock songs.

Want to write a function? Start a verse. Need a variable? Name your protagonist. Together, we'll write actual programs disguised as rock ballads, turning algorithms into songs that both computers and humans can understand. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting out, come discover how programming can rock!

(Programming experience helpful, musical talent entirely optional. We promise not to make anyone perform their code!)
