We’re excited to be returning coming to Stoke-on-Trent in June and hosting a meetup with the superb folks at Wavemaker at the Mitchell Arts Centre.
This is your opportunity to:
– meet the people involved in the other clubs so we can share resources and help each other.
– find out what it’s like to run a Code Club, or what other Code Clubs have been doing.
Oh, and there will be complimentary refreshments for you as well.
As well as the latest Code Club news, the evening will include chance to tinker with BBC micro:bits and try out the new Code Club micro:bit projects as well as dabble in other bits of tech too.
If you’ve got an idea for a short talk (either one you’d like to do or something you’d like to hear about), then please contact Tim at westmidlands@codeclub.org.uk or tweet me @codeclubwmids.
Our volunteers go to their local club for an hour a week and teach one project a week. Many of the projects use Scratch, for example.
I look forward to seeing you on the 21st June.
