CoderDojo Bray is closed for the season

In an effort to slow the spread of the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic and following Irish government's recommendations issued on 12 March to close all schools, we have taken the decision to close the Dojo for the rest of the season. We will assess the situation and inform you when the Dojo will resume after the summer holidays.

During this time, we encourage you to make sure our students use the many learning facilities available online and continue their coding journey. We are listing some below. You can also get all the sushi sheets we use in the Dojo in the Coding Streams page of our website.

If you have any questions during this time, please contact us on bray@coderdojo.com.

Please consult the HSE website (https://www2.hse.ie/conditions/coronavirus/coronavirus.html) and HPSC website (https://www.hpsc.ie/a-z/respiratory/coronavirus/novelcoronavirus/) for guidelines and latest updates on the virus.

Thank you for your support and understanding. Stay safe!

IoT students visit to Killruddery House

This post has been written by the CoderDojo students A few weeks ago, the CoderDojo Bray IoT group went to  Killruddery House  to check the network and security cameras. There were 4 kids (Megan, Tyler, Joshua and me, Marcos) and two mentors (Kevin & Tatjana). At Killruddery we first went to Anthony's office to check the power source; everything was powered by Linux.

We made our way into his office where he showed us about this computer (it was hu...
