Hackathon @ CoderDojo Altona North

About Coder Dojo Altona North - At CoderDojo Altona North, young people aged between 7 and 17, learn how to code (Scratch, Python, etc.), interact with the real world using sensors and the Arduino, develop programs on the Raspberry Pi, develop websites, develop mobile apps, develop simple programs, develop games, build robots and explore various aspects of technology in an informal, safe, and creative environment.

In addition to learning to code, exploring the basics of electronics and robotics, attendees meet like minded people and are exposed to a world of possibilities of technology. An individuals creativity is the only limit.

We invite kids of all ages starting 7-17 and their parents to come along.

What to Bring Along - Please bring along the following:

• A laptop. Borrow one from somebody if needs be.
• All hardware you will hack with will need to be purchased for use during the tutorials i.e. Arduino, Raspberry Pi.
• We'll let you when you are at a point where you need to invest in the hardware i.e. Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc. Initially only a laptop is required.
• A parent! (Very important). If you are 15 or under, your parent must stay with you during the session.
