Con,

I would be interested in helping get 'something' up and running again. Time pressures as well (although maybe not as extreme!) but could set something (once a month?) that is sustainable.

December CoderDojo in Dundalk

con.he...@gmail.com: Jan 07 11:29AM Hi all,   Unfortunately Coderdojo Drogheda (in St. Olivers) is also on hold. 2 parents who where helping to organise it had work commitments which prevented them from participating on a Saturday. I've been hoping to restart the dojo, but I've my own time pressures.   Would some of the mentors in either Drogheda dojo be interested in meeting up some evening to see what makes sense to do next ? Maybe bringing the dojos together again ?   Regards, Con   BTW: The Dojo in St Olivers is *not* restricted to any group of students, rather St Olivers school very kindly offered their facilites to us.     On Friday 7 December 2018 and Paul Browne wrote:     Hi, Paul here - was helping run the Dojo at the Mill (centered on Financial Payments / the M1 Payments corridor).         At the moment the Mill Dojo is on-hold. Great and very supportive location, great group of Ninjas (mainly teenage) and technical skills, and was project based working towards a financial payments app. The missing piece was somebody to act as a client. Somebody (e.g. from a charity) to talk to the ninjas once a month and give them feedback and direction.     Without that direction, the Dojo would just be a duplicate of the One in Olivers School (which wouldn't be a good idea!).     Hope this helps, open to suggestions     Paul       On Fri, 7 Dec 2018 at 14:23, CoderDojo Dundalk <coderdoj...@gmail.com[1]> wrote:     Hi Tony, I've been unable to get any info on it either, the most I got is that there is a session run in St Olivers (location of the previous DoJo) but its only for their students. Perhaps check with The Mill - I think they had one running at one stage. If you get any info will you let me know so that I can let others know. Thanks, Peter     On Fri, Dec 7, 2018 at 10:42 AM Anthony White <anthon...@gmail.com[2]> wrote:     Hi.

We use a CoderDojo booking system so if this is your first time you to use it you (parent / guardian or mentor) will need to register then you can add children if appropriate and book their tickets. Please select the user type that describes you best.     Like last month we have increased the number of available tickets with some new exciting rooms again, I'd appeal to mentors to let me know / book mentor tickets asap so that we can plan the day accordingly.     We will meet up in the usual room P1111 and then go to the individual rooms some of which have changed.     As this is the last Dojo of 2018 we will have a wee party (feel free to bring in some treats, I'll see if I can get some as well and we will of course have Pizza!!) with the presentation of wrist bands to those that have attended 4 or more Dojos we have the White one, if you already have a white one might consider upgrading to the yellow if you are up to completing a skill task !!!     For Scratch users we might try using the new Scratch 3 this time - its being launched in Jan 2019 but we can get a head start on it. If you wish you can bring in headphones as there are some new audio features in Scratch 3     Finally for the season that's in it festive jumpers and festive themes for Scratch etc would be most agreeable !!!!           15th Dec 18 19th Jan 19 9th Feb 19 9th Mar 19 13th Apr 19 11th May 19
