West Sound CoderDojo — What Will You Build?

No tracks. No sorting hat.

BEGINNER IS A TEMPORARY LOCATION.

We may suggest beginner, intermediate and advanced projects, but those labels are wayfinding — not identities. Move when you're ready. Loop back when you need to. Ask the person next to you. Help them five minutes later.

What we are really building

THE PROJECT IS NOT THE ONLY PROJECT.

A game is also a lesson in iteration. A broken circuit is also persistence. Showing somebody how you solved a bug is also leadership. Curiosity travels.

Agency

Choose.

Decide what matters enough to try.

Making

Build.

Turn an idea into something you can test.

Thinking

Question.

Debug the code and your assumptions.

Community

Share.

Learn out loud and pass knowledge around the room.

DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BUILD YET?

Good. That is a completely valid starting point.
