Event Information
About this event
CoderDojo is a fun and free place for youth to learn computing skills
At CoderDojo Canada, we aim to break down barriers to access to computer literacy by working with community organizations, challenging social and economic stereotypes, and empowering youth to shape their world through code.
Drop-In Lab:
Bring your own ideas, or use our kid-friendly resources. We have projects suitable for all skill levels. Students work at their own pace with support from our team of volunteers who can answer any questions.
Available activities for our drop-in sessions are:
- Scratch - creating interactive stories or games (beginner, ages 6-10, minimal typing)
- Web Development - make your own website or application (intermediate, ages 10+, typing skills required)
- Arduino - learn hardware program with this easy-to-program circuit board (intermediate, ages 10+, typing skills required)
- Other - tell us what you’d like to learn! Let one of our mentors know what you have in mind, and they can assist you with finding resources
IMPORTANT INFO BEFORE SIGNING UP
