This workshop is for girls and boys age 7-18.
Programming is not difficult! Here we learn from each other and the coaches how to program by doing it ourselves.
We bring a range of robotics: Makeblock Mbot, Mbot2, Ultimate, Grove, Ozobot, Makey Makey, Microbit with Maqueen.
There is only one rule: Above all: be cool!
This workshop is for girls and boys age 7-18 (experience with Scratch will give you a headstart, others will get a quick Scratch Intro).
If you are younger than 12, you are best accompanied by a parent.
Parents can stick around for the sparkling atmosphere and to help volunteering.
We have two (self) guided tracks:
- Code the game rock-paper-sissors with artifical recognition and play against the computer: buzz.
- Code a robot: rex to drive around indepedently.
Besides these tracks there is time to build your super nice project!

I am an enthusiastic Coderdojo Coach with a passion for engineering.
Getting children animated for engineering brings me joy.
I like to make sparkling things with microcontrollers and blinking lights.
I have a HAM license ON8EN and a goal is to get on the air.
