CoderDojo906 kicks off its second year of programming
7th October 2015 – CoderDojo Marquette
MARQUETTE — CoderDojo906 kicked off its second season in Marquette today, offering free computer programming training for 10 to 17 year olds.
“They’re going to learn a very basic version of coding, but the basic building blocks, the fundamentals that they’ll get here will enable them to go into much more advanced fields of code if they’d like to,” said Keith Glendon, CoderDojo Champion of CoderDojo906.
The two hour sessions are held every other Tuesday at NMU.
“Opportunities like this, teaching kids how to teach themselves using resources that are in the public domain on the internet, those are the ways that technology, education is evolving,” said Glendon.
