Thank you to Nikkia for securing our initial location.
Below you will find the schedule that the Fredericksburg library has
given us for hosting our Coder Dojo at their facility once per month.
Address: 1201 Caroline St., Fredericksburg, VA 22401, ph:
540-372-1144
If we can secure one other location, then we can host a coder dojo
every other week monthly, which I think will be sufficient until we
get numbers that cause us to perhaps start a second dojo.
Next course of action is to begin marketing these events and start
thinking about topics to cover.
My suggestion is that we start marketing initially to high schools in
the area, targeting a 14-18 year old student base. These programs can
go down as low as 6 year olds, but there is a change in what we are
teaching as we go younger. By starting older, I think we can cast a
wider net, and it will be easier to work backwards in age.
As for topics... I want to throw Minecraft mods on the table... does
anyone have any experience with this topic? Some other dojos are
having success getting student interest around this topic.
Additionally, HTML5/CSS3/JS are good ways to start coding instruction
as well... provides an easy feedback loop. I am open to your feedback
and ideas... its not my dojo, its ours... so feel free to influence
our direction.
I will post this data to the Google group next.
