We have just a  few weeks left before we finish up in CoderDojo Athenry for the summer.

Here is a reminder of our upcoming schedule:

  • On 18 and 25 May, ninjas continue to work on solo/group projects towards earning belts/certs, with the support of the mentors
  • On 1 June, we won’t be open for the bank holiday weekend
  • 8 June will be our final week: we will award belts/certificates for your projects, and we will have pizza for everybody!

After that, we will close for the summer and resume in the Autumn.

Scratch Intermediate & Advanced Challenge 18: Start work on your own project!

CDA-S2-Challenge18-YourProject

This week, we started work on multi-week projects!

The goal will be to design and implement your own project, with the support of the mentors, to demonstrate the skills you have acquired over the past few months.

In a few weeks, everyone will get to demo their projects and work towards earning:

  • Yellow certificates: for ninjas who already have a yellow Scratch belt and demo a project using those skills
  • Blue certificates: for ninjas who already have a blue Scratch belt and demo a project using those skills
  • Yellow belts and white belts: only for ninjas who do not already have a belt.

As we discussed, there are also a couple of international CoderDojo contests coming up – discuss with your parents whether you would like to enter.

Here are my notes from the day (PDF): CDA-S2-Challenge18-YourProject.pdf

As usual, get in touch on Twitter or in the comments if you would like the PowerPoint version of the notes.
