Following the success of last year’s Dorset Coding Day, the event is back for 2024. We want to make this year bigger than ever before!
Educators, if you’d like to take part, you can register to take part by filling out an online form.
This year Coding Day will take place during the week of the 7 October and we’re encouraging local Dorset schools to sign up to get involved in what has proved to be a fantastic, interactive event.
Last year, more than 5,000 Dorset school children took part in interactive coding activities helped by over 60 tech industry volunteers.
If your child is older than the recommended ages, but you feel that they would still benefit from taking part then they are very welcome, email us to discuss arrangements.
Coding also has applications in science, art, design and many more areas.
The team at Digital Dorset are joining forces with BCP (Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole) Council and Barclays Digital Eagles to run this event.
Following an activity provided by Barclays Digital Eagles, pupils will create a simple and easy-to-follow coastal-themed coding project.
The session will last approximately one hour and will cover lots of elements of programming.
IT specialists from local tech companies will join schools in-person where possible. They will inspire the children by sharing their own experiences of using coding and other digital technologies in their careers
If you work in IT, coding or any other related field, we would love you to get involved and help us inspire the workforce of the future.
