Technology Volunteers

We just held our Handover Meeting with the Project Leaders for the next academic year! Excited to see what they have in store for this project.

Happy birthday to us 🎉 On this day in 1965, the University received its royal charter from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Now, we're one of the top ten universities in the UK. We're proud to continue pushing boundaries and imagining the future. ...and we've only just begun.

This wraps up TechVols activities for the academic year! Thank you so much to the schools who hosted us for Scratch sessions, our eager volunteers who signed up every week, Prof. Margaret (@megjlow) and Warwick Volunteers for all the support!

(LRT) Very happy to back at CTK Primary School to deliver another Scratch session. We're glad the children enjoy coding Pong - its also one of our favorites!

Year 5 have been enjoying their Scratch coding session with students from Warwick University.

(LRT) Thank you to CTK Primary School for inviting us over again! We were very glad with how immersed the children were with learning about Scratch and its functions.

This afternoon in Year 4, volunteers from Warwick technology department came in to teach us how to create games using Scratch.

Ask Year 5 what they learned about coding with Scratch!

(LRT) Thank you to Earlsdon Primary for hosting us! We had a great time teaching an advanced version of our favorite Pong game with the Makey-Makey boards.

Many thanks to @WarwickVol for running Scratch coding sessions with Year 5 - it was a fantastic afternoon! @OutreachWarwick @WarwickTechVols @megjlow @disrupt_learn #Gamechangers

We have a heart-breaking update to share on our missing friend and colleague, Professor Tom Marsh. The body found by search teams in Chile last week has been confirmed to be Tom. We send our deepest condolences to his family, colleagues, students, and friends.
