I had a good time meeting with Elbrie who is the centre co-ordinator for our Southampton YRS (Young Rewired state) group. Its a group aimed at 12+ to get them into technology and coding. We were talking about plans and how to launch CoderDojo which is a group for under 12s to get them enthused about coding. The biggest challenge for this code club is attracting young girls to take part. This is an ongoing strategy. I am confident with good activities we will be getting a good number of girls coming along. The next event is 7th February.
