Day 1: Tech - Code your own beach clean plastic counter using a micro:bit and capture your beach clean finds with a kids citizen science survey.

​

Day 2: Engineering – Come up with an amazing invention to tackle plastic pollution 

​

Day 3: Creative – Make your own video or poster to help encourage other kids to keep Cornish beaches clean this summer.

​

All activities have their own videos and written tutorials that kids will be able to use to work at their own pace. No previous coding experience required.

Support from kids will be available from TECgirls and micro:bit volunteers.  

The first 100 kids who sign up will be given a free micro:bit kit.

Cornwall Tech Jam and Software Cornwall put on a monthly free tech jam for kids from 6-18. Usually on the second Saturday of the month from 10am-2pm. Girls and their parents can drop in any time and have a go, with their experts on hand to help. 

Activities range from Scratch coding challenges to opportunities to play with robots or even hack Minecraft. 

We are always on the lookout for more events or clubs to share on our site. If you have something coming up, get in touch and let us know.
