👩‍💻 CoderDojo 👨‍💻

CoderDojo happens on the first Saturday of every month in the Makespace classroom.

This is a FREE coding club for young people, run by volunteers.

**This event page is just here to book the room out and inform Makespace members that it exists. Please ensure all Ninjas (that's the young people) have their place secured by registering them through the CoderDojo portal.**

---| Coding for young people aged 7-17 |---

Learn coding in 😺 Scratch, 🐍 Python and more! No experience is required - just bring your kids along so they can have some fun!

Make sure you bring:

• 💻 A laptop, if you have one. If you are struggling to source one then we can lend you one courtesy of the wonderful people at Makespace.
• 🔌 A charger (for the laptop!)
• 👩‍👦 A parent! (Very important). If your child is 12 or under, a parent or guardian must stay with them during the session.

Booking
We need to ensure we have enough mentors to run a good session. To help with this, please book all ninjas (that's the kids) into the CoderDojo portal, as spaces are limited:

This is an induction into the use of the Wood Lathe

You will need to use a dusk mask and eye protection. If needed we can disinfect one of the pairs of goggles at MS but you need to bring your own personal mask - at least to PP2 standard.

If you have a particular project in mind then let me know but one possibility for the session is a kitchen roll holder as that requires both spindle and faceplate turning and is quite functional. It does not really matter what project you start as long as we can cover all the essentials of the training needed. You don't need to supply any wood.

This the final step in becoming qualified to use the Wood lathe and Easywood tools in Makespace. You need to have completed the on-line training successfully. Please pay £2.50 into iZettle

FAQ

Q: Can I sign up for this before my keyfob has been activated, working and tested by me?
A: No.
Q. Can I be late?
A: No.
Q. I can't make...
A: Cancel here on meetup so that someone else can have your slot.

You'll have to have a fully activated fully working Makespace keyfob.
