NetRefer organises a code club for children

IT skills are becoming increasingly sought after in the Maltese labour market. Many local and international tech-hungry companies based here, often have to look beyond our shores for expertise, especially in the iGaming industry.

As an IT innovation-driven company, NetRefer wants to be part of the solution. By training up the next generation we can help resolve the problem.

We are creating NetRefer Ninja Code Club to raise awareness of the fact that coding can be taught to children effectively. This already happens in some schools locally and is quite widespread in schools all over Europe.

NetRefer is creating a free kids’ code club for summer 2016. This great opportunity is open to children between the ages of seven and 10 who will learn age-appropriate principles of programming.

All the spaces for the first run of the course, which will be held during this month, have already been filled.

NetRefer will also donate a Raspberry Pi to each child upon satisfactory completion of the course, to ensure that the children can further develop their skills at home.

Team NetRefer have been working tirelessly to make this event a success. The course will have eight sessions in all and will end on 7 September.

A certificate awarding event will be presided by the Minister for Education and the President, before kicking off the reception organised at the NetRefer offices in Valley Road. For more information send an email on codeclub@netrefer.com
