Taoiseach Micheál Martin will officially open a workshop that will see 20,000 students from primary and secondary schools around Ireland learn how to code.
The virtual conference centre, DojoMór 2021, is being launched this Saturday.
It’s to facilitate a fun and exciting place for children to learn how to code.
The workshops are free and are funded by the Higher Education Authority of Ireland.
They will be running online from 10am to 2pm and offering a range of fun and educational activities to suit all ages and interests.
Speaking about the conference, An Taoiseach, Micheál Martin said:
“Events like DojoMór are about laying the groundwork to inspire and educate young people to be the next generation of Irish coders, while at the same time, doing so in a fun and creative manner. I have been a strong supporter of helping young people to explore coding, right from the earliest days of CoderDojo in Ireland, as I believe that expertise in coding will be a big part of our county’s success in the future.” - An Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, TD
