Please reserve a ticket for each child attending. Once registered, you will receive a mail confirmation of booking/attendance from Eventbrite, if not please review booking made.

Due to space restriction, we will not be able to allow anyone to attend the IBM CoderDojo Session without tickets, unfortunately no exception will be made.

IBM CoderDojo provides informal sessions for children aged 6 - 16 interested in coding and exploring technology. Children are encouraged to learn by themselves and with other children with assistance from mentors and volunteers.

Please note ticket desk at reception will close at 15:10 sharp. Thank you.

Remember to bring:

• A fully charged laptop (& Power lead)
• A USB Key (if possible)
• A packed lunch (if required)
• A parent / Guardian (This will be strictly enforced)

PLEASE NOTE: Parents must accompany children on to and off IBM facilities. Parents must remain with children at all time. This is a two-hour event. Please arrive a minium of 10 minutes before start to faciliate registration.

Due to high demand and limited resources, please understand that we cannot operate a waiting list for this event. All sessions will run on a first come, first served basis. Additionally, we may not always reply to individual queries but we will make best effort to do so. These events are run by a team of dedicated volunteers all of whom work full-time.
