Irish Students: Enter the Junior Spiders Awards 2015!
This year’s eircom Junior Spiders will take place in the Facebook HQ in Dublin on Monday April 20th. The awards are open to youth aged 4-19 years in Ireland & Northern Ireland. Through practical projects, the eircom Junior Spider Awards makes digital, fun and encourages thinking about the digital elements behind everyday tasks and objects.
Ruth Morrissey, Jamie Mulqueen (Winner) from St. Michaels Community College Co. Clare presented an award by Bill Liao (CoderDojo co-founder)
We would encourage CoderDojo members to get involved this year by submitting the cool projects that they’ve been working on at their Dojo. The awards are easy to enter and entries are open now!
Please note: The awards are open to youth aged 4-19 years in Ireland & Northern Ireland only.
The aim of the awards is to acknowledge the innovation amongst web creators under the age of 19 and to provide an exciting programme that will encourage youths to further develop their technology skills in web & design. The awards programme acts as a catalyst for youths who wish to pursue a career in this sector by providing access to influential business executives.
