With April / Easter holidays making it impractical to host a CoderDojo, we’ve been busy planning for May, June and July!

Ever heard of a Rube Goldberg Machine ? You’ve probably seen or even made one – such efforts as the Honda advert or OK Go video are very popular.

So – our theme for Manchester CoderDojo is I/O – inputs and outputs !

We want to build a #McrCoderDojo Rube Goldberg Machine over the next months – one that involves physical items, but also virtual worlds. Connecting Minecraft, Scratch, RaspberryPi PureData with python, Makey Makey, IFTTT , marbles, robots, hama beads, dominoes and whatever else we can get our hands on!

Interested? Got ideas? It’ll require lots of hacking and talking – but will be huge fun. Watch out for tickets for CoderDojo #13 in next week’s newsletter…
