Upcoming Workshops, Events & grants

Keep cool & hydrated and carry on 🍦

Finally a proper summer, and holidays are in full swing for some. June was a busy month for me but main highlight was Inspirefest, and even my hair matched. I've written a highlight of my time there, you can read it here >>>

Announcement: Symantec sponsored three Pi-Tops v2 and each includes a Raspberry Pi B+ for events we are involved in and/or running! Read more>>>

For those who are around this month, there's still lots happening although I'm still collaborating running other workshops than running Coding Grace only workshops. For those interested about Coding Grace Wexford, they are looking into restarting events, check them out on their Facebook page >>>
In the meantime, you'll find me:-

Facilitating Cross-stitch patterns, e-textile and board game making workshops at The Chester Beatty (Jul 16/17/18). Find out more >>>
Attending the first Dublin Games Summit
Speaking at EventProf's meetup about diversity in events. Find out more >>>

Future:

Sat Sep 8 - mentoring a beginner's female-friendly Django workshop in Sligo

Even though the Dublin's 1st Raspberry Pi Jam (Sat Aug 11) is now fully booked, you can still join the waiting list or register your interest for the next one. It's open to all levels: Beginners, Intermediate & Hobbyists. Details >>>
