We help older people use their phones, tablets and laptops so that they can remain independent and connected with the community. 

The clients are mostly elderly people from the local area. There is NO previous experience required! If you know how to work your phone/laptop/tablet then you'll be able to help the older learners to use theirs. Often you'll be teaching them quite basic skills like how to use Google Maps, share photos and send emails. In the event that something that you are unfamiliar with arises during the sessions, one of the project leaders will always be there to help!

The Kenilworth Community Centre is in Kenilworth and can be reached by a bus service direct from the Bus Interchange on campus, the fare being refunded by Warwick Volunteers at the end of the term.

We will meet at 1:20pm at the bus interchange to take the 11 bus to Kenilworth. Sessions last from 2:00pm to 3:30pm on various dates depending on the availability of student volunteers.

This session will cover a different way to interact with scratch, rather than your keyboard - a Makey Makey board!

After plugging it into your laptop with a USB-c lead, you use your fingers to connect circuits, leading to inputs to your laptop! We usually use these to control the Brick-Breaker Game, which we covered last week.

When: 2pm-3pm on Wednesday 10th December

Where: IMC1.04

You don't need to have come to any prior training sessions to attend this one - we go from the very start of the project. Slides for this session will be emailed to you if you join this opportunity and are unable to make it. They are also sent out to the Mailing List and posted in our WhatsApp Group.

We are a fun and inclusive volunteering group that offer Scratch lessons to primary school pupils across Coventry. 

Our aim is to encourage children to become creators, rather than consumers, of technology. Students/staff from all disciplines are welcome to join, so no prior knowledge of coding is required! We will be training all of our volunteers in Scratch during Term 1, and then visiting schools in Term 2.
