What other things can I do to celebrate the end of Term at my Dojo?

Why not encourage young people to design thank you projects for the mentors and volunteers involved in your Dojos. Recognising the work of volunteers and mentors is important so they feel their time and efforts are valued.

Ninjas can make thank you animations in Scratch similar to this one, or even adapt this project to make a HTML/CSS thank you card in trinket. Or program a micro:bit to read out a thoughtful message for the volunteers who have given their time during the year.

You could even do a presentation highlighting some of the amazing projects that have been made this term, as well as noting how mentors and volunteers supported the Ninjas to make them.
