Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

ICT Skills Report: Discussion

2:05 pm

Mr. Colin Donnery:

I have four children involved in CoderDojo, two of whom are girls. Our CoderDojo group is in Birr and the girls are outperforming the boys in many cases. They are not just taking part in programming with Scratch or HTML, they are taking part in chess, rocket launching and robotics. I applaud the CoderDojo people who have done a phenomenal job.
