Coderdojo Ashbourne

Hi Everyone,

Apologies for the lack of activity ove the last number of months.

We've had issues with staffing levels over the last number of months, and that has been the reason with the delay in starting back the CoderDojo.

As staffing levels have been an issue, we are not going to be able to run the CoderDojo on a Saturday anymore. We are looking at running the Dojo on the last Wednesday of every month in the afternoons from 4-5pm as a trial run.

We are going to run 2 x 1-off events for October (26th) & November (30th) to test the demand and also get an idea of the level of knowledge.

We'll then hopefully run the 6 sessions course from January to June - (hopefully in our newly built Makerspace).

If you want to put your name down for the October & November sessions, can you please ring the library on 01-8358185 or e-mail [email protected]

The sessions will be for kids aged 7-13 years and we'll be working with Scratch 3.0.
