CoderDojo Árainn Mhór passed its second birthday in January, being one of the first dojos set up in the country. The CoderDojo movement has since spread far and wide and has branches around the world. The dojo is a free, informal coding club which meets every Saturday in Ionad an Chrois Bhealaigh from 1pm to 3pm where children aged 7 and upwards learn about applications, coding, scripting, hardware, software, interfaces and other fun stuff.
We have around 12-14 regulars and they have been learning Scratch, HTML, Python, Raspberry Pi, UNIX terminal commands and working with hardware. If you would like to give it a try come along at 1pm on a Saturday.
We are always looking for mentors who can spare an hour or two to help out, there are quite a few island techies about so call in for a spell, any help would be appreciated. Also if there are any companies or individuals who would like to sponsor some equipment such as Raspberry Pi Leap Motion or some USB lanyards for the children please get in touch! Telephone 07495 20024.
