Invitation for 5 DunL ninjas to attend Royal Dutch Visit in Dogpatch Labs! 12 June 15:15-16:45
CoderDojo Foundation will be having a special Dojo in Dogpatch Labs on Wednesday 12th June and are looking for some Ninjas to join! They are hoping for 5 Ninjas from the Dun Laoghaire Dojo to join this event as attendees.
At the Dojo, there will be a visit from the Dutch Royals, his Majesty King Willem-Alexander and Her Majesty Queen Máxima. The session will consist of a workshop hosted by Wia, where the Ninjas will get the chance to work on some cool new projects that they can then share with the Royal visitors. It should be really fun for everyone involved!
The amazing team from Wia will be guiding the Ninjas through the projects, however it is hoped that the Ninjas attending would have some experience using either Scratch and/or Micro:bit, as they will be working on a block-based language that wouldn’t be suitable for complete beginners. It is also hoped to have a mix of boys and girls in attendance, as well as a mix of ages if possible.
Parents of 5 CoderDojo Dún Laoghaire ninjas can register via the Eventbrite event below (asap!) and book a space for themselves as well as their ninja. Further details will be provided upon registration.

Summer holidays!
Sunday sessions finished on 26 May and the Wednesday group finishes on 29 May.
We will re-start sessions in September at a date to be decided later. Emails will be sent to current attendees* with links to book places. Please re-register as soon as possible; places will be opened up to the 500-strong waitlist shortly after, so a delay in registration may result in the place being lost.
*If 2 or more sessions have been missed without notification, the place may be withdrawn.
Many thanks to IADT and METNS for their support of CoderDojo Dún Laoghaire!
