Previous event
We had a coder dojo session in the Ham Youth Centre today. This coincided with Software freedom day.
Short note about Coder Dojo: normally focused for young people in this case between 8 to 14 years of age. It is to introduce them into coding. In this case there was some HTML, scratch and python.
I'll give an overview on my experiences:
- In UK if you are going to do any type of volunteering with under age children even if the parents or teachers are present you need to get a Disclosure and barring service Check or DBS for short.
- DBS normally cost money and it involves giving your details so that they can check your background. But if you plan to get the check for promoting science, technology, engineering and mathamatics you can do it via STEMNET
- more later
