My last face-to-face GIC event was in early March. Then COVID-19 struck. With the safety of our girls & the wider community in mind coupled with the lock down restrictions, it was no longer possible to hold physical, face-to-face events.
On Sunday the 1st of March we held Girls Into Coding #6 at the Microsoft Reactor. This was an exciting time as the previous event was so successful, so I could not wait to experience it all over again.
On January the 11th, it was the first Coderdojo back at Kingston University, and it was now 2020! To kick things off, I ran a Bitbot workshop.
2020 is almost here! I recap on an amazing 2019 and I have pieced together a video highlighting my key moments. Thank you, everybody, for your continued support in my mission!
On November 26th, 2019, I received the Diana Legacy Award from Earl Spencer, the brother of Princess Diana. I was fortunate enough to be selected along with 19 other young people from around the globe to receive this prestigious award.
Girls into Coding #5 (GIC5) was on Saturday the 3rd of November, which surprisingly came around quite quickly, despite the last one being at the end of July.
MozFest 2019 (Mozilla Festival) took place over three days, Friday 25th to Sunday 27th October. It was my second MozFest and I was especially excited because this time I was attending as a facilitator running a workshop session.
On Saturday the 12th of October, after the amazing buzz of the first CoderDojo of the season, I was ready to get back into action for the second CoderDojo at Kingston University.
On October 4th & 5th, the Microbit Foundation held its first annual conference of the global Microbit community of educators, makers, and partners who came together to share experiences, amazing Microbit projects and the latest teaching, and learning materials.
Saturday the 14th of September, the first CoderDojo of the 2019-2020 season! For this opening session, I decided to run a workshop using Bitbot because it’s got so many cool features you can expand on.
