Wren, Créd, Nuadha and Dubhlacha Stynes entered the CoderDojo "DojoCon
Hackathon" recently in the Newpark Hotel Kilkenny, which was held in
association with Institute of Technology Carlow, one of the primary
sponsors and collaborators in DojoCon 2018.
At the Hackathon, they heard from aeronautical engineer and astronaut
Norah Patten who hopes to be the first Irish woman on the moon and
they learned how to build a virtual maze and rob a bank, a virtual
bank with virtual money! They thoroughly enjoyed their experience and
Wren, as part of an international female team The Wolves won in their
category (7-9 year olds) for speed and accuracy!
She is pictured here with her team Simone and Charlie from
Montpellier, France being presented with her prize by Peadar O'Goill
from TG4 hit science programme, Is Eolaí Mé.
