An Adventure in Africa

It was late last night, but Kevin could not sleep. His bed was inside a camping tent, and just outside the tent were the fields of Africa, filled with wild animals. His parents slept

soundly in another bed across from him. He wondered how they could be so clam. What if a

lion came into their tent? He was very frightened. It took a long time before Kevin finally fell asleep.

When the son came up, he felt his mother‘s hand on his head.

―Morning, Kevin!‖ she said, ―time to wake up and go on the

safari.‖ Before they left America, his parents had explained to

him that a safari was a long drive through nature, usually in

Africa. During a safari you can see lions and zebras living free,

instead of cooped up(限制) in a zoo.

―What if we get close to a lion?‖ Kevin asked.

―Oh, daring,‖ she said ―nothing will happen to us if we listen to our guide.‖

Kevin got dressed slowly, listened to the bird singing outside and began to feel less afraid. After a brief breakfast, he got into a jeep with his parents. The driver, Jim, a kind –looking man, was also their guide.

The jeep took off a dirt road. After a little while Kevin and his parents waited in the tall grass while Jim walked ahead of them and looked around. After a minute Jim raised his hands in the air. ―Shhh,‖ he said in a low voice. ―It‘s nothing dangerous but don‘t speak loudly.‖ Kevin and his parents walked up to where Jim stood, and soon Kevin saw a beautiful golden creature with dark brown spots(斑点) and a very ,very long neck–a giraffe.

―Wow,‖ said Kevin, He could not believe how close he was to the giraffe. All his fears disappeared and he began to get excited about the day to come.

C

As kids, we learn how to write, maybe play a musical instrument and draw. So why don‘t we learn to code(编码) computer programs too? What coding has in common with writing, playing music and creating art is that it lets you bring your ideas to life. Coding is all about creativity and that‘s why I love it.

Creating with code

CoderDojo helps young people around the world to learn computer programming for free. When I went to my first CoderDojo class in Dublin City University in Ireland, at age nine, I didn‘t know anything about coding or even what it was. But I remember making my very first web page that first day, and being surprised that I could create such a thing. It was a great feeling that I think every young person should experience!

By going to CoderDojo every week, I learned how to make websites, apps and games. One of my apps is called Auto-Journalist. It can help journalists(记者) and interviewees do interviews even if they are both really busy or live in different time zones. It is still

in

development, and I have showed it at an event called Coolest Projects Awards, where young people get to show the public what they have created with code. It‘s so much fun to share one‘s creations, and to see what everyone else has made too.

Learning environment

For the past three years I have also been helping to teach other young people at CoderDojo DCU. In recent years I have also noticed many more girls attending CoderDojo DCU to try out coding. This has a lot to do with the CoderDojo girls‘ classes—girls and young women take part in it with their friends, and it doesn‘t feel like coding is a ―boy thing‖. It is really wonderful to see this, because we need more girls and women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths). It‘s a good way to learn more about technology.

Start early

One of the main things I have learned in the last few years is that coding is not only for adults, coding is for young people, too. And when you are a child it is a great time to start coding, because your imagination is the limit for what you can create!

Want to learn more? Find out if there is a CoderDojo near you at or set one up yourself! Also check out which has lots of fun drag-and-drop coding games.
