We are offering a set of beginner coding workshops to the children of Edgeworthstown, a small town in County Longford, a part of rural Ireland that is often forgotten. The workshops will use Scratch, and MakeCode for :microbit. They will be pitched at beginners from age 8 and upwards. The goals of the event are to introduce children from this area who would not otherwise have access to such workshops, due to low income, lack of IT devices etc. What makes this event special is the fact that laptops, microbits and makemakeys will be made available for use in the workshops, allowing children to explore and enjoy technology in a fun and engaging manner. This area of Longford has a very high proportion of low income families who are socially deprived, many coming from a migration and refugee background.
