I mentor kids in a Code Dojo which takes place one Saturday per month during term time.

In previous years I taught them to use Transport for London’s API with two workshops. The first let them create a bus countdown display (like the ones you see at bus stops showing how many minutes away the next few busses are) using Google’s blockly language, which is a Scratch-like grapical programming environment. The second lets them use Javascript to plot tube stations on a map of Londdon and show the arrival times of tube trains at those stations. Both of these were developed by the Schools Outreach team at TfL’s Technology and Data division.

I now teach how to develop web pages using a Web Witchcraft and Wizardry tool I have developed.

Inspire Engneering is a program run by London Transport Museum for Key Stage 3 pupils to explore the museum’s collection at its Acton Depot and interview an Engineer (me!)

I give careers talks and support events at local scrools where I mainly talk about Engineering and Software Development Apprenticeships and encourage girls to consider engineering careers.
