CoderDojo in Inverness 10th September, 2013 The 12th and 13th August marked the first CoderDojo events in Inverness. We had 30 young people over 2 days taking part in web development workshops in Eden Court. The workshops included an introduction to the CoderDojo movement along with sessions on HTML, CSS and JavaScript. By the end of the day, the young digital makers had created their first website and published it online. There was a variety of different website subjects as well as different design and functionality. Local parents commented that CoderDojo was a good thing for the young people of Inverness, as nothing like this currently exists there. It gives them the chance to develop computational thinking skills and prepare them for a future that is becoming more reliant on technology. With the abundance of unfilled technology jobs out there hopefully we are encouraging these young people to be the digital creators of tomorrow. We’re looking forward to returning to Inverness later this month. Martin Goodfellow CoderDojo Mentor
