CoderDojo heads to Electric Picnic to code!

CoderDojo will have a special Pop Up Dojo at the Electric Picnic music festival in Stradbally Estate, Co. Laois! The festival takes on Aug 29th – 31st. At our “Electric Picnic Pop Up Dojo”, located in Mindfield, we’ll be giving young people (aged 7 – 17) and their parents the opportunity to get a taste of it’s like to attend a CoderDojo. As always the sessions will be free, fun and interactive! No previous experience of working with technology is required, for either the attending child or their parent / guardian!

  • Friday 29th from 5pm to 7pm

Each session will start “on the hour” and will facilitate 12 young coders. Each child must be accompanied by a parent / guardian. Places will be initially allocated on a “first come, first served” basis with pre registration available for those who turn up at a full session and want to return for the next one.

Activities

The sessions will cover:

  • Scratch Workshops                           (Beginner coding)
