FAQs
What happens at Horsham Coder Dojo?
Small inputs are given to the group so that they are able to get started on projects that interest them. We then support them week after week to get them the results they want.
We have different ranges of abilities from children who have never coded through to older children who are taking computer science at GCSE.
There is a wide range of skills that the Mentors can help your child develop:
Basic text-based adventure games in Python, using basic If statements and functions.
Basic drawing and games using curses
Experimenting with the Raspberry Pi to:
Light LEDs
Print using a thermal printer
Control a robotic arm
Using the new Micro-bits to code flashing LEDs and make use of the accelerometer.
Basic HTML and CSS and JavaScript
Is Horsham Coder Dojo on every week?
Horsham Coder Dojo tries to run every week during term times but some weeks there are not enough mentors available to run the dojo.
