Being comfortable with spreadsheets is an important skill for our ever changing world. They are all around us, and necessary in multiple settings. In this camp, we will explore the basics of spreadsheets, and some of the most popular uses. Beginners will learn how to input, modify, and sort data; use formulas; create charts; and make things look “nice” through formatting. This class will use Numbers on the iPad for demonstrative purposes, but we will go over any key differences between the main spreadsheet software programs: Numbers, Excel, and Google Sheets. Our schedule of learning will be: Day 1 - What is a spreadsheet? - Headers - Inputting and changing data. - Adding columns and rows, moving columns and rows, and resizing for the data. - Sorting data.
