CoderDojo Porirua

You can see how the skies above Stonehenge affect the iconic stones via a web browser thanks to a Raspberry Pi computer: raspberrypi.org/blog/view-ston…

When you finish a PhD in computer science, they take you to a special room and explain that you must never use recursion in real life. Its only purpose is to make programming hard for undergrads.

Activities this week include taking the Scratch Asteroids project we started last time and moving it to JavaScript with the help of one of @thecodingtrain awesome tutorials and hosting it on @glitch. Please share with any one you think may be interested in coming along! :-)

Don't forget - our next session is this Saturday at #PoriruaCollege! Register for free at cdr.nz/register #Porirua😀

Great fun at our first session over the weekend, programming with @scratch, @MITAppInventor, and hacking some hardware! Thanks to all that came along.

Had a group of high school girls in the @Xero office today for #Shadowtech19 - gave them tour of the office, they ‘speed’ met some of the amazing women who work in the tech teams - and we wrapped it up with some coding #womenintech
