Coder Dojo

Our little microbit-controlled cart has proved popular. Here it is running line-following code written by Jacob (centre)

 

Our Coder Dojo meets weekly on Thursdays immediately after school. Similar to a code club, our Dojo is aimed at children aged 8 – 13. We offer coding in scratch and python, and some simple robotics projects using the BBC micro:bit. 

If you have a child who would like to attend our Dojo then please register your interest by completing the form below. We’ll get back to you via email. We have a limited number of places so we can’t guarantee your child will be accepted.

N.B. All of our coder dojo mentors are DBS checked. Our registered dojo name is Sheffield@Greenhill Library
