Code clubs update

Just a quick update on the code clubs initiative to start lunch hour code clubs in Hamilton-area elementary schools:

– 17 elementary schools in the HWDSB and HWCDSB have signed up to participate so far, with another batch expressing interest

– A dozen mentors have signed up to run code clubs

– Mentors are now in the process of completing police background checks (it takes a few weeks), after which they will be assigned to run a code club

– Expected start date for the first code clubs is now in February

– Initiative could still use a few more mentors to ensure that all code clubs can get started

If you’re interested, check out the details on getting involved.

Enlist today! These future software developers need YOU to get them pumped about coding!
