Step into Tech Young Makers TECH Club
Norwich Hackspace is for over 18s only but for under 18s that want to get involved in tech and making there is an option....
Step Into Tech Young Makers Tech Club October 2019
Claire Riseborough, parent of 13 year old techie, James Livesey and founder of social enterprise ‘Step into Tech’ (which aims to get parents and young people more involved in tech activities) in November 2016, developing out of Young Makers sessions that were run by Norwich Hackspace members at the Library. Claire took on the challenge of developing the sessions into a social enterprise.
Young Makers Tech Club is an informal, family friendly event which aims to inspire young people of ages 8-18 years and their parents to get into tech and coding.
The sessions are by donation, drop-in and informal. The idea is that people will bring their projects and help each other, socialising and learning at the same time. Parents are encouraged to stay and learn too or chat to other parents. Claire Riseborough will be supervising the sessions (with help - see below*) and she will be able to give more detailed information if you need it.
The club usually meets at Develop, City Office Park, Carrow Road, Norwich NR1 1DL
on Saturday, bi-weekly basis, 2-4pm. Please see the event calendar for dates.
*We are inviting other parents to help run and support the group. We also welcome techy experts to come along to inspire the young people, and educators who may want to find out more. Contact Claire with any questions [email protected]

If you have any tech please bring it along eg. A Raspberry Pi, a laptop, robotics kits etc, however this is not absolutely necessary as we will have some kit available to learn and play with.
