We will start the term proper on the 1st October. We will issuing tickets publicly via eventbrite ( example from last year click here ) approximately a week after the planning meeting.

We run on Monday Evenings from 7:30 - 9:00. The reason for this is our colleagues in CoderDojo D15 ( https://www.facebook.com/coderdojod15/ ) operate out of Institute of Technology Blanchardstown ( ITB ) on Saturday mornings. As this clashed with matches,training,dancing and other activities, we were asked to have an alternative time slot to provide options.

We have a welcome message on our email distribution list. This can be signed up to at;

This distribution list is to provide information re CoderDojo Castleknock and is the central contact point. Also please follow us on facebook and twitter as we update our website, twitter feed and facebook page on activity.

We generally run 2 terms. One in Autumn and one after Christmas. We run classes from 7:30 - 9:00 at Castleknock Community College.We do not run a summer term for a number of reasons;

1. No access to school ( we want to acknowledge their help ).

2. Weather is hopefully better ( Don't look out a window ! ), so the feeling is, its nice outside - be outside.

3. With holidays for mentors and ninjas (children), its very hard to arrange a set of dates that suits all.

CoderDojo Castleknock approach is to provide tickets for a block of classes - a term. The idea is two-fold;

- classes build on each other, i.e concepts covered earlier in the term are built on;

- We have finite resources re room space and for certain courses which depend on hardware, we have a limited number of kits which translate into tickets.

We make tickets available at the start of each term and then close tickets until the next term

We will provide updates to link to book free tickets when they are available at either

mid/late September - for Autumn term
January - for post Christmas term

in the following locations;

Next steps.

Get tickets (by following link when when they are released. As they say in the ad's, "when they are gone, they are gone". Also please note, tickets cannot be reserved. If you want to make sure of a place in future, become a mentor as they get early access to tickets as a 'thank you' for their assistance, as without them, nothing would happen.
Term proper will start on the Monday 1st October 2018 and tickets will be released approx. a week earlier.
