Maynooth University Department of Computer Science run CoderDojo sessions during University term time.
This is a free, weekly event for students aged 8-16. For any students 12 or under, a parent or guardian will need to remain in attendance for the session. For those 13 or older, parent can choose to remain or not.
For beginners, we run Scratch sessions every week with material that the kids can follow along with. For more experienced kids, we have a rotating topic for every block of sessions (for example microBit's, Finch Robots, Robocode, Java). You can attend every week, but it's not a problem missing out on any of the sessions.
If you are interested, please keep an eye on this page. Our next batch of sessions will commence after the Halloween break (our current block is full). We will update this page with a form to sign up closer to the time!
When:
We will run our next 6-week series starting Tuesday 5th of November from 5pm - 7pm.
Location:
Computer Science Software Labs, Ground Floor, Eolas Building, North Campus, Maynooth University - a map of the North Campus and transport information can be found here. Eolas is building 40 on the campus map.
What to bring:We have computers for everyone to use but you can bring your laptop if you wish.

If coming by car, note that parking charges and restrictions at Maynooth University do not apply from 5pm so you can park for free without needing a ticket or pass. We recommend you park in car park 4 or 5a, located at the back of the North Campus, as these are the closest car parks to the Eolas Building.
