We will be running beginner and intermediate Scratch workshops for the younger attendees along with WebDev and hardware workshops for the older age groups. These are aimed at across the skill levels so both existing attendees and those that might have a passing interest will find a workshop to suit on the day.

Please take care in selecting workshops and filling out the required information as doing so incorrectly will make it harder for us to hold the required place and could result in places not being available.

Workshops:

We will have four sessions over the day at 10.30am, 12pm, 2pm & 3.30pm . At the next stage, you will be able to select a timeslot followed by a workshop per person from the selection listed below. If your required workshop is greyed out in the session you are booking this means it is booked out and you will need to try another session.
