On November 3, CoderDojo gives young people the chance to build coding skills
The Kaput Center for Research and Innovation in STEM Education will hold a community coding education event on November 3, 2018 from 10am to 12noon in LARTS 208 and 209. This free event is open to students ages 7 to 17 that want to learn more about programming and computer coding.
The event is co-sponsored with CoderDojo, which believes that an understanding of programming languages is increasingly important in the modern world. To that end, they have built a global network of free, volunteer-led, community-based programming clubs for young people. Anyone aged seven to seventeen can visit a Dojo where they can learn to code, build a website, create an app or a game, and explore technology in an informal, creative, and social environment. Some topics taught are Scratch and Python/HTML.
For tickets, please visit this website. Space is limited. A ticket is required to participate.
