Great to see @turtlestitch as a #coderdojo activity with @bart today.
And really great to see an old-school Coderdojo in action still

In the past two decades, three forces for good came into the world. #TeachMeet 2006; #Coderdojo 2011; the #Turtlestitch community 2015. In Tilburg, Netherlands this weekend, all three intersected during #Turtlestitch10 at the Hostel Roots cellar bar ... #HopePunk
Excited to see young kids create amazing technology solutions at #CoderDojo #mechelen. Stories and games in Scratch, digital clocks with microbit, and a mobile game.
I turned my little #pygame project into a dutch-language tutorial so we can use it at our local #coderdojo . It still needs some illustrations and some polishing but happy with this so far
Become the hero of your own digital adventure and get ready to build the future, one line of code at a time! Join our fun digital workshop for 6-18 year olds this Sunday, February 16, 2025.

Made a little pygame game. Might try to turn this into a #coderdojo tutorial
#CoderDojo revisited … with an unexpected epilog
We moved house six years ago and it is only lately that some pictures are coming out of storage and getting hung. No surprise that some of them had gone askew - and seeing the tilt in this one (an Annie West print commisioned to celebrate the 2013 DojoCon in Sligo), made me think. Is it a metophor for the trajectory Coderdojo in the ten years since then?

Off to coach some kids toying around with Scratch and Python! #CoderDojo #Aarschot
I'm volunteering at CoderDojo today, and a kid asked me if there's a Python library for everything.
I said, "Yep! I bet there's even a Python library for doing your taxes."
The kid pulled up a search, and this link was the first result. What a time to be alive!
@pa3weg @tracketpacer I do such disassembly with my local #CoderDojo kids.
@achim @faassen That's why I said "based on a modern version".
I think there are different types of people. For some, the self-directed approach might work, for others not so much. Fortunately, we have a lot opportunities for kids to explore tech, like #coderdojo, #makeit, #robolab and so on.
@tinker @fxbghackers I do this yearly at the season’s end of my local #CoderDojo group. Fun guaranteed and amazed every time how little kids these days know which screwdriver fits in which hole.. It’s like they never had that baby toy with different shaped holes to fit bricks in.. Luckily we’re there to help out and educate what each part they take out is.
Am Freitag ging es hoch hinaus
zu PwC Österreich Karriere in den DC Tower. Da waren die Ideen und Gedanken unserer Coderinnen und Coder um Ferienstart so richtig beflügelt
Danke an PwC für die Einladung und allen beteiligten den Support!

A question towards the #hamradio community.
Consider you would do promotion for #amateurradio in the #maker / #fablab / #hacker community, or towards youth in a #coderdojo , does it make sense to try to get the local radioclub involved?
Or do you just start a local radio-amateur group inside a #hackerspace or the coderdojo?
Nachdem wir beim #Unwetter am Donnerstag mal wieder mehrere Hundert Liter Wasser im Büro hatten und die Nacht mit Schaufeln verbracht haben, ist inzwischen alles wieder gereinigt und getrocknet und das Wetter tut so, als wäre nichts gewesen. Glücklicherweise sind keine ernsten Schäden entstanden — von @jkphl's abartigem Muskelkater abgesehen — und dem heutigen 65. #CoderDojo steht nichts im Wege. Das Tor steht offen, lasset die Kids zum Programmieren kommen!
At devconf in #CapeTown today looking forward to talk about the wonderful things our kids and mentors do, and celebrating the WTC World Champions from here in Pinelands.

Fun day at #coderdojo #CapeTown today, I felt like a useful mentor
Helped:
limiting lifespans on clones to avoid infinite spiders in a #scratch web game,
nesting an if to get scrolling working in a side scroller,
finding GPIO pins and pinouts to get potentiometer input in thonny from pico,
debugging syncing code on two #microbit s to get radio comms for the microchat project,
swapping out a dodgy USB cable that was frustrating micro programmer,
resolved a bug from duplicate def in #python.
Thank you very much #Calliope for donating 15 Calliope mini 3 for our #CoderDojo at #CoderDojo013. What a great gift. Our ninja's will be very happy. Using @microblocks with the Calliope is so much fun.
Giving a short talk at @fosdem, in front of thousands of people, about #coderdojo, with @bart is something I don't do on a daily basis.
