Google launched an initiative in June 2014  called Made With Code, with the goal of getting young women excited about learning to code in an effort to close the gender gap in the tech industry. Google's investing $50 million into the program over the next 3 years. Why not check it out at Made with Code or try your hand at our own Python Turtle project here. Coding is for everyone, especially girls! You can try out some beginner projects here. But if you'd rather just play games then you'll find some here.

Students with interested in entering the Eircom Junior Spiders 2014/15 should contract Mr. O Briain. For inspiration why not check out Raindrops on Roses a project by past pupils Donna O Leary, Katie McCarthy &  Ciara Neville that made it to the top three at the finals. Guaranteed to make you smile if nothing else!

The Hour of Code even offers 'unplugged' computer programming as well as Elsa of Arendelle.
