The first night of our CoderDojo in Milltown was held last night in Scoil Bhride, Milltown for 6th class students. The night was a great success and very enjoyable for all. We started our first Scratch project and I think its fair to say that our new Dojoers are natural’s when it comes to programming. We will finish the job next Thursday followed by the Milltown Pong championships!

Please don’t forget to book in via the Eventbrite link on the right of the page for next week.

thanks

Only a week left now until the first Milltown CoderDojo

There are still a few places left though its filling up fast. Please return the consent form and book in via the Eventbrite link on the right of the page.

Don’t forget, a laptop of some sort will be needed (Windows, Linux or Mac) to take part in the exercises. Unfortunately a tablet or iPad wont work for what we are covering in the first few weeks.

Look forward to seeing you on the night

regards
Paul

We have only a short while to go to the start of CoderDojo Milltown on 28th November. We still have a handful of places left for Milltown 6th Class pupils so please get your registration form back and book in via the EvenBrite link to the right as soon as you can.

To clarify a couple of questions that have been raised

– We will not be wiping/erasing laptops that the kids bring to CoderDojo. This comment in the note distributed in class was meant an offer for people who have old unused laptops that the would like refreshed for their child to use in CoderDojo. But if the family has a working laptop then feel free to give to your child to bring along.

– The fee mentioned in the note distributed is for purchase of a laptop for you and your child to own and keep. This is a very good offer and these laptops are supplied by a company that specialises in second hand laptops aimed at educational needs.
