#coderdojo

I turned my little #pygame project into a dutch-language tutorial so we can use it at our local #coderdojo . It still needs some illustrations and some polishing but happy with this so far

Made a little pygame game. Might try to turn this into a #coderdojo tutorial

Off to coach some kids toying around with Scratch and Python! #CoderDojo #Aarschot

I'm volunteering at CoderDojo today, and a kid asked me if there's a Python library for everything.

I said, "Yep! I bet there's even a Python library for doing your taxes."

The kid pulled up a search, and this link was the first result. What a time to be alive!

@tinker @fxbghackers I do this yearly at the season’s end of my local #CoderDojo group. Fun guaranteed and amazed every time how little kids these days know which screwdriver fits in which hole.. It’s like they never had that baby toy with different shaped holes to fit bricks in.. Luckily we’re there to help out and educate what each part they take out is.

A question towards the #hamradio community.

Consider you would do promotion for #amateurradio in the #maker / #fablab / #hacker community, or towards youth in a #coderdojo , does it make sense to try to get the local radioclub involved?
Or do you just start a local radio-amateur group inside a #hackerspace or the coderdojo?

At devconf in #CapeTown today looking forward to talk about the wonderful things our kids and mentors do, and celebrating the WTC World Champions from here in Pinelands.

Fun day at #coderdojo #CapeTown today, I felt like a useful mentor

Helped:
limiting lifespans on clones to avoid infinite spiders in a scratch web game,
nesting an if to get scrolling working in a side scroller,
finding GPIO pins and pinouts to get potentiometer input in thonny from pico,
debugging syncing code on two microbits to get radio comms for the microchat project,
swapping out a dodgy USB cable that was frustrating micro programmer,
resolved a bug from duplicate def in python.

Thank you very much #Calliope for donating 15 Calliope mini 3 for our #CoderDojo at #CoderDojo013. What a great gift. Our ninja's will be very happy.

Giving a short talk at @fosdem, in front of thousands of people, about #coderdojo is something I don't do on a daily basis.

I'm at #CoderDojo session with the @SnapCloud team in the front row

Ten years ago, I started the #CoderDojo Belgium clubs in Roeselare and Ieper. My employer at that time, #Televic, immediately jumped in and became a sponsor to give us a smooth start. Fast forward to 2023, and again, Televic is helping the clubs in West Flanders with a donation! Nine Lego Spikes and two extension sets will inspire many more kids to use their computer skills creatively!

Getting ready for a #MicroBlocks workshop at our annual #CoderDojo #DojoCon meeting in The Hague (The Netherlands) on Saturday.

@NovemberMan @purplelotus13 @pluralistic Level up idea from my context when you're at the library you could find out if they have a #CoderDojo to visit.
(and if they don't share them this guide: https://help.coderdojo.com/cdkb/s/article/CoderDojo-in-the-library )

@Nosrat This is lovely

Could you share source or a snippet or a howto? I'm sure a bunch of #CoderDojo and #codeclub kids would love to bake their noodles with this.

Well done

@pallenberg vieles in dem Bereich leider nur durch Eigeninitiative bzw. #coderdojo

Oder halt anderes Land:

Robotic passt in eigentlich jedes Fach mit rein.

It's hot here in the #bono23 engine room by now. The #speakAtBono23 carousel is also revving up. Our next speaker is very close to my heart, as I have been accompanying her on her way through the digital world for 7 years now. Maya Leyh is 15 years old, part of Generation Alpha, and has a lot to say. We might want to listen in.

My special thanks to @adactio and you'll find out why on Thursday.
