"Children see that you can be excited about technology and still be one of the cool kids", says CoderDojo mentor Matt Galvin in #MentorMusings
We had a chance to talk to CoderDojo Tampa Bay Area mentor Matt Galvin, when he had come to observe a CoderDojo in action, as part of the launch-steps for a CoderDojo at the Upper Tampa Bay Regional Library. Matt explained why CoderDojo offers a different value proposition than a regular educational program within a school system.Â
CoderDojo Tampa Bay Area is working with the support of the library system to add locations. Besides Upper Tampa Bay Regional Library, there is one opening in Valrico at Bloomingdale Public Library on every other Monday evening starting February 10th. The CoderDojo at the Upper Tampa Bay Regional Library launches on Saturday at 11:30 a.m. starting February 15th. For a regularly updated schedule of all locations in the Tampa Bay Area, please visit CoderDojoTampaBayArea.eventbrite.com
