Kellään lapsia jotka olis kiinnostuneita ohjelmoinnista? 🙂 In English below --- Kiinnostaisiko lastasi oppia tekemään omia pelejä ja ohjelmia? Helsingin yliopiston tiedeluokka Linkki järjestää keväällä 2024 ohjelmointikerhoja niin aloittelijoille kuin jo kokeneemmille koodareille. Kerhot on suunnattu alakoululaisista lukiolaisiin ja niitä järjestetään sekä Helsingissä Kumpulan kampuksella että etänä verkossa. Kerhojen tarkemmat tiedot ja ilmoittautumisen löytyvät kotisivuiltamme http://linkki.cs.helsinki.fi/fi/news Kerhot alkavat viikolla 4, ja useissa kerhoissa on vielä hyvin tilaa! Tervetuloa mukaan! --- Is your child interested in learning to make their own games and programs? Science education lab Linkki at University of Helsinki offers multiple programming clubs this spring for both beginners and more advanced coders. We have clubs from primary school pupils to high school students. Clubs are held at Kumpula campus in Helsinki and online. More information and registration to the clubs on our homepage http://linkki.cs.helsinki.fi/en/news Clubs start on week 4 and many clubs still have open spots! Welcome to our clubs!

That sounds interesting and it reminds me of Coder Dojo. Are the activities related to Clojure? (It's ok if it's not)

Panu Kalliokoski07:01:01

sadly not :) Although REPL-y languages provide some quick feedback, it's still better to use scratch where it's easy to get moving figures on the screen...

Panu Kalliokoski07:01:21

Clojure's error messages would probably also rule it out :/

Vincent Cantin07:01:59

All the activities are using Scratch?

Panu Kalliokoski07:01:02

there are python and sometimes scheme based courses for advanced kids. I think they also tried Logo a couple of times.

Vincent Cantin07:01:11

It reminds me 8 years ago, when I was organizing a club, free access for all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVq_tbTFvI8

I might open a club in Finland at some point.

Panu Kalliokoski07:01:45

Nice! And that would be so cool 🙂 Linkki is in a good position for actually having some infrastructure for recruiting people, finding participants and teaching teachers, but it also means they're slower to change. That said, the individual club instructors have quite a lot of freedom for well motivated experiments.

I will be living in Finland (Tampere) starting from February. We might get in touch once I am settled.

Panu Kalliokoski07:01:37

Sounds good. I have business in Tampere every now and then, so it's probably easy to drop by 🙂
