CoderDojo Limerick 31st October 2015
Loads of news on Arduino, the Web summit, Start-up weekend and Adult Python workshops below so read on to find out what is going on in and around Coderdojo Limerick in the next few weeks.
Arduino
Arduino uses software and microprocessor kits to allow kids to build and programme their own digital device in a fun and interactive way. At Coderdojo Limerick we have several of these kits and are offering the chance for some of our ninjas to have a go. Because the number of kits we have are limited we will have to ask anyone who is interested to please book their place through Eventbrite (click on the link below). There will be a 7 week run so if you do not get a chance to sign up for this session please don't worry, we can sign you up for the next one. Those who complete the 7 weeks will be eligible for their yellow belt if they wish.
Web Summit
The Web Summit is Europe’s largest tech event and will take place in the RDS on November 3rd, 4thand 5th (last time it will be held in Dublin). Congratulations to Grace and Hollis who will be representing Coderdojo Limerick at the Coderdojo stand. Best of luck to you both and enjoy J
Startup Weekend
Startup Weekend Limerick is a competition where people with business ideas have 54 hours to develop a business from scratch and present a pitch to a team of judges (a bit like the MegaDojo hackathon). The organisers have kindly offered us a few tickets for ninjas aged 12+ to the closing event on Sunday 22nd November where the teams will be pitching their business ideas. Can anyone interested email limerick@coderdojo.com

Very Important:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To satisfy insurance, health and safety, and child protection requirements, it is necessary that members under 13 have a parent or a named responsible adult present for the full duration of their stay. So that we can know who is responsible for each young member, we require a supervisor reserved ticket with the name of the person staying with the young member.
Members will not be allowed into rooms until 11am and we ask that you be there on time so that we can minimise the disruption caused by members arriving late. (Please let us know by email in advance if you will be late).
Tidy up will start at 1.45pm and while we encourage parents to be there at this time, we ask that you do not take away any members until all the rooms are back to the way they were when we arrived. LIT are now using the rooms every Monday morning so this is important.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What you need to bring:
- A packed lunch.
- If you have one, a laptop.
- A parent! (Very important if you are under 13).
-
If you have not done so already please make sure and fill out the registration form available here. Please print, sign and return the email you receive on your first visit to the dojo.
We accept people all the time, so if you want to start just book your place and turn up on the day; the existing members help bring you up to speed.
