Update on the reopening of CoderDojo Bray

Hello everyone,

We're still here, and can't wait to restart the coding sessions! However, in light of the current situation and the spread of Covid-19, after much consideration, in order to ensure a safe environment for the students and the volunteers, we have decided it's best to postpone the commencement of this season's Dojo until a later date.

Please monitor our website, Twitter and the mailing list. We will be posting / sending further communications as the situation continues to develop, once we finalise the plans to go back to the Dojo, hopefully soon. 

Don't forget that your children can still access many learning facilities available online and continue their coding journey, some are listed 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.

Thanks again for your support and interest. Stay safe. 

The CoderDojo Bray team

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. Anthony had built the source code himself. After we checked all that, we went up to the roof, it was fun! On the way up, we climbed three flights of stairs and through a dusty attic. Going to Killruddery was a great experience! My name is Joshua. I thought the visit to Kilruddery was fun, cool and kind of interesting. We started off looking at the pigs. They loved being scratched behind the ear. Then we went through a huge door and into this room that had a map on the wall, in fact there were maps on every wall in the house. We made our way into his office where he showed us about this computer (it was hu...
