The ‘Coding for Kids’ Camp, aimed at 9 to 11 year olds will run each day from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Main Street.
During the three day event, kids will be given the opportunity to learn new and interesting skills such as code breaking using cipher wheels.
Thomas Moore, Curriculum Manager for Computing and I.T. at NWRC, said this is a fantastic opportunity for young people in the North West to become code warriors.
He added: “North West Regional College continues to lead the way in the provision of first rate learning in the STEM area.
“The growing field of STEM subjects is just as important for primary school children as it is for post primary students. The camp this Summer is a great way for kids to learn exciting new technologies and develop coding skills.
“As well as code breaking, our code warriors will create their own Scratch game and compete
against their friends on the Raspberry Pi, control robot racing cars, build and fly a drone, plus
competitions and prizes.”
The Coding for Kids Summer I.T. Camp takes place on Monday 9th, Tuesday 10th and Wednesday 11th July 2018 from 10am until 1pm. £20 per child.
