Coderdojo Athenry Showcase
Athenry Coderdojo is one of Ireland’s premier computer clubs for kids and meets every Saturday in Athenry at 12pm.
This page is mainly for demo projects - for full details and tutorials, check out our website!!
Explorers
The Explorers group, led by Martha, is where people usually start; they learn how to progam in Scratch and how to use graphics packages and stop-motion animation.
Advancers
The Advancers group, led by Oliver is for ninjas who have done a few years of Explorers and want to progress to more advanced coding concepts, still mainly using the Scratch programming environment, but also using other tools.
Creators
The Creators group, led by Kieran and Mark focuses on creative coding in various languages and platforms - largely in Javascript. Creative coding is the use of code for the generation of artistic endeavours. This group is a great foundation in text-based coding which will serve the ninjas for life! Because Creators use javascript, we can use this website as a showcase for our projects - check them out here:
Bodgers
The Bodgers group, led by Declan, involves digital making and physical computing using the Raspberry Pi and Arduino. They also specialize in defending the dojo against zombie attacks.
Hackers
The Hackers, led by Kevin and Michael, is a hacker space for CoderDojo Athenry, with more in-depth projects building on technologies learned in other groups, and involves 3D modelling, 3D printing, and soldering.
