CoderDojo Inverness returns with summer fun!

Thank you to all the children (and parents) who came along to our first summer camp.

They all worked really hard and even taught us a thing or two! Shout out to Jasper’s amazing Micro:bit skills and Ashleigh’s Gizmo website! Inverness CoderDojo now have a new website to make it easier for people to find out what’s happening, book tickets and ask questions. Please have a look and let us know what you think on twitter @HighlandCoder.

Micro:bit Makers

“I really enjoyed programming the robots and making my Micro:bit do cool stuff. I hope to come back again.”

Learning with Minecraft

“I liked it because Scratch is cool and I love Minecraft.” Olivia

“It’s really fun and I love using Scratch at home and the Minecraft day was my favourite. I liked making Alex move a building on my Minecraft account.” Iona

Building for the Web

“I loved being here, my favourite was making my own website. I hope to see you sometime else this year or maybe more. I enjoyed everything we did.” Ashleigh

CoderDojo Inverness is one of our newest Dojos and has brought CoderDojo back to Inverness after nearly 3 years without a club. Well done for all the hard work to bring it together and for the success of the summer camp!

Inverness will be running a weekly coding club for under 16s every Tuesday at the UHI Stem Hub, starting 23rd August. Book a space now via Eventbrite.

CoderDojo Inverness is run by volunteers. If you’re interested in becoming a volunteer mentor with CoderDojo get in touch here.

Great to see a dojo back in Inverness. The feedback from the children who attended is great. Well done!

Amazing feedback … looks like a great event, those screens are HUGE and that robot at the end looks awesome.

Where was CoderDojo when I was a kid???

I don’t know about you Kenji but we definitely didn’t have all this cool technology when I was a kid! But you can always go to one now – as a volunteer!
