Activities
'It carries out activities or services itself'
'the advancement of education'
Prewired provides an unstructured but supportive environment for under 19s to explore and learn about computer programming and related topics. We have volunteers from university and industry with a wide variety of skills who volunteer their time to teach young people about computing. We primarily run regular weekly coding clubs on Wednesday evenings where young people can drop in to work on their projects independently or in groups with support from volunteer mentors. Occasionally we run structured workshops to introduce attendees to a new topic they may not have considered before. Over the summer we hold a Make-a-Thon, where the attendees are challenged to meet specific goals in a set amount of time. this is a really fun learning experience, with concrete outcomes. Sometimes we form teams to take part in national events like the FIRST LEGO League. Prewired is a place for young people to meet peers with shared interests which they can develop together.
Beneficiaries: 'Children or young people'
