Code Club - AS GAEILGE!

Professor Brian Ó Broin of William Paterson University, Wayne, NJ, leading a coding club of excited youngsters at University College Cork's Baile an Fheirtéaraigh student facility Dún Chiobháin. The Coding Club was held as part of an annual residential week for Irish speaking families from all over Ireland that the language promotion body Glór na nGael organizes. Coding was done entirely through Irish, courtesy of Professor Kevin Scannell of St. Louis University and a team of translators who localized the popular coding app Scratch for the Irish language.
Cabrini de Barra and Sinéad Ní Mhearnóg organized the week for Glór na nGael. The event now welcomes literally scores of families from all corners of Ireland and beyond.
