Session Material

This Page contains links to the session material that we have used in the Dun Laoghaire CoderDojo across the sessions we have run to date.

In addition, resources from the wider CoderDojo community are available here.
Included: HTML, Scratch, Web Servers, XCode, Python, GIT, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL, NodeJS, Joomla and Minecraft

Also:  We are starting to host material on our Github site which you can access here


In September 2019 we were contacted by the Membership Chairman of Boy Scouts of America Troop 325 in Lake Jennings, California. They have apparently been enjoying the resources on our website and wanted to share that young Chase, aged 11, made up a guide of coding lingo and terms which they thought we might find helpful. So with a big thank you to Chase, we are adding in the link to his guide below:

Chase’s really useful guide to coding lingo and terms for new coders
