National Coding Week – 18-23 September 2017 15th September, 2017 National Coding Week’s aim is to inspire people to learn coding and other digital skills during this week. It’s great to see so many events being organised across Scotland to get more people interested in coding. There’s a big range of activities from teaching a parent or guardian how to code to physical computing at a Raspberry Jam. By showing the importance of coding and introducing more people to this skill we can hopefully start to address the skills shortage in this area. – Dr Martin Goodfellow, National Coding Week Ambassador for Scotland, Coder in Residence for Glasgow Life Listed below are CoderDojo Scotland events running in and around National Coding Week.
