Executive Summary
The Clongorey meet and code is a community-based coding club. The main aim is to provide a safe, fun and affordable space for both children and youths within our community.
There are a number of children and youths in our community who do not take part in community activities. Whether this is due to affordability, diversity, self-esteem or racism, these individuals are isolating and potentially subjecting themselves to an unsafe environment. Our mission is to lift these boundaries, creating a safe environment for both children and youths where they can meet, learn and grow within our community. The main aim is to encourage all like-minded individuals to join with their neighbours and start to interact with one another while introducing them to the fundamentals of computing.
Objectives
• Provide a safe, fun and affordable space for learning and creativity
• sparking the interest and fun in programming for all genders
• Develop problem-solving and critical thinking skills
• Encourage teamwork and collaboration through group projects
Program Structure
• Weekly Sessions: 2-hour sessions once weekly
• Duration: 6-8-week hiatus
• Curriculum: Scratch, Python, C++, Java, Web Development (HTML/CSS)
• Activities: Interactive lessons, hands-on projects and coding challenges using Minecraft and Roblox
Target Audience
• children and youth between 8 and 24 years of age
• we aim to cater to a minimum of 20 children and youths within our community
• The groups will be into 3 main categories:
o 8 to 10 years
o 11 to 15 years
o 16 to 24 years
Location
• Clongorey Community & District Centre
This is a not for profit organisation and is based in a rural area outside Newbridge Co Kildare near the bog of Allen. The centre is locally run from volunteers within our community. The club is only recently re-establishing itself and getting various activities up and running for young and old. There is a drive and appetite to get the association back on their feet following a hiatus time during Covid. The Club were very recently hit with two senseless acts of vandalism on both the current and old community centres. There is a multipurpose centre in situ which has recently been connected to high speed Eir fibre.
Staffing
