Computers let you create anything you can think of. Prewired is here to help enthusiastic young coders of any ability to do just that.

Wednesday evenings are for you to play around with whatever technologies and programming languages you want. You can learn something brand new, practice something you already know, start a project, get help with something you're stuck on, or even teach others.

We have attendees working on Scratch, GameMaker, Python, websites (HTML, CSS, JavaScript), LEGO robots, Arduinos, and much more. If there are different topics, languages or technologies you want to work with, just let us know!

Please sign up for as many sessions as you want. Coming regularly makes it easier to make friends and do as much coding as possible :)

We run every week of the year except for a few weeks around Christmas and New Year. New sign-up dates are added to the calendar around the end of every month.

Resources

It's good if you can bring your own laptop if you can, as you'll be able to get to work a lot faster on a system you're familiar with. However, if you don't have any at hand, we do have many spares you can use.

Please make sure you've had your dinner or a snack before you come if you usually eat around this time, as we don't allow eating or drinking near the computers. We do provide a brief snack break in the middle of the session.

Location

The entrance to CodeBase is on 37a Castle Terrace - come in to reception and go straight into the hotdesking space. You sign in at the Prewired registration desk.

If you're late or the doors are closed for any reason, no worries! There's a bell to the left of the doors that will alert the mentors inside.

Parents

If your child is under the age of 11, we ask that they are accompanied by a parent or guardian throughout the session. If your child is very young and needs lots of support, you should be prepared to sit with them to help. You can of course ask a volunteer for technical advice.

If your child is 11 years old or older, is is up to you whether you'd like to accompany them to the session.

If you do plan to attend as a parent, please book a ticket for yourself as well as your child so that we can keep track of numbers.

Cancellations

If you sign up but realise you can't make it, or if you accidentally book extra spaces for any reason, please make sure to cancel your ticket so the spot can be released to someone else.

Getting involved if you're over 19
