March 23rd is our Spring Challenge Coder Dojo Day. Each group is to be set a challenge and to showcase their work.
The challenge for the HTML 12+ Group is to design a Spring or Easter themed website. Get started before Saturday if you can.
It's as simple as that. Get creative and have fun!

New Location & meeting time
Saturday 23rd February sees the dojo in Gorey meeting at our new base in the Gorey Community School.
Our meeting time has changed to 1.30pm.
Opportunities for our kids & teens to code:
Scratch introduction 8-12 years >> 20 tickets
Scratch 8+ years >> 20 tickets
Introduction to HTML 8-12 years >> 20 tickets
HTML & Python 12+ years >> 15 tickets
We are missing 4 of our regular mentors this weekend as they have other commitments. As you can see we are still managing to offer 75 tickets. Our mentor group is growing with a commitment from some parents to upskill in Scratch and become mentors - you're fab thanks! All our mentors are amazing to volunteer their time.
Our aim is to build a panel of local mentors so not everyone has to be there every week. Are you a potential mentor? Find out more here. Perhaps you know someone who can code & would be willing to mentor occasionally or every week?
We would also like to say a big thank you to the amazing group of volunteer Mums - Susie, +Karen Draper and +MaryClaire Culliton who are running the behind the scenes and supporting ticketing, queries, FB page, etc.
Thanks to support in the last 2 weeks from Aidan, Susie and +Dave Bolger for phone calls, form filling & meetings to sort out school access and insurance.
Next steps:
