Glasgow Science Centre & CoderDojo Scotland
Children across Scotland will benefit from the maintenance and development of new coding clubs, with Digital Xtra funding bringing new clubs to areas currently lacking this resource.
CoderDojo Scotland is a network of high-quality, extracurricular digital learning clubs, delivered by expert volunteers with backgrounds in digital technologies.
This project will also implement a series of tried and tested measures to improve the gender balance in five CoderDojo clubs. It aims to increase the number of girls participating in coding activities and retain these students over time.
A toolkit was also created to assist the wider network across Scotland to improve gender inclusivity. This will allow the project to share its methodologies and best practice to increase female participation rates in coding activities.
