OurKidsCode

National Parents Council

OurKidsCode is a joint initiative aimed at increasing confidence in computing for families with primary aged children.

OurKidsCode is a joint project between Trinity College Dublin and the National Parents Council (Primary) funded by a government grant from Science Foundation Ireland’s Discover programme.Our aim is to support parents/guardians who wish to engage their primary-school children’s interest and activity in computing. We want to strengthen the social support around a child by engaging their peers, families, and communities as learning partners. The workshop is divided into two sessions lasting approximately one hour each, with the sessions taking place usually a day or two apart. Families are required to attend both sessions of the workshop.Each family will receive a pack containing the workshop kit, and a Zoom link to join the session which will be facilitated by an NPC trainer. We take the family STEP BY STEP through a computing activity where we have some fun and make a computer game that we can later wear to play the game &#x27;Rock, Paper, Scissors&#x27;Each family will need access to a computer or laptop to do the coding AND a mobile device to connect to the Zoom meeting. These workshops are designed for complete beginners. No previous coding or computing skills are needed.
