10,000 expected at CoderDojo Coolest Projects awards at RDS

More than 800 young innovators from across Europe will take part in the fifth annual CoderDojo Coolest Projects Awards at the RDS on Saturday, when more than 10,000 spectators are expected to take in demonstrations of the apps, websites, animation, games, and robots among this year’s submissions.

The event, launch yesterday, was attended by some of Ireland’s brightest young innovators, including Lexi Schoene, 8, who has entered the blog/website category with her site lexililybelle.com, where she blogs on her life and interests across a range of platforms.

“I used the HTML and coding skills I learned at CoderDojo Dun Laoghaire to design my website using Wordpress,” she said.
