York CoderDojo is a friendly place to meet and develop your coding and tech skills or learn something new. We run informal sessions where young people from 7-17 and families can come along and work on projects, develop new skills, participate in challenges, whatever you want. We’re here to provide guidance, encouragement & support in a relaxed environment.
You can work on an existing project, learn something new, show us your cool coding projects or just see what’s going on.
York CoderDojo will be becoming Gwiddle Club York from Saturday 6th July! As part of our relaunch of Gwiddle, we are building a new and improved network of digital making activities.
We'll still be the same great team with the same amazing volunteers, and not much will change with the projects and great experiences young people have at our services.
The only real change you will notice is our name. Our name will be changing to help make it easier for people to find their local, free digital making activity across North Yorkshire! For now, we are continuing to be known as York CoderDojo and you don't need to do anything. All of our activities will continue to be bookable on My Keeping Digital, and we'll let you know when our new webpage is live later this year.
If you have any questions about the new name for York CoderDojo, please email our team at hello@keepingdigital.org.uk.
Get your code in space with Mission Zero
Mission Zero is back at York CoderDojo, giving young people the chance to have their code run in space (we're serious)! Write a simple program to take a reading from the colour and luminosity sensor on an Astro Pi computer on board the International Space Station, and use it to set the background colour in a personalised image for the astronauts to see as they go about their daily tasks.
