Kildare people expected to travel to tech summit in RDS

Over 10,000 people are expected at the RDS on Saturday June 18 as 800 young innovators from Ireland and across Europe take part in the fifth annual CoderDojo Coolest Projects Awards.

Ireland’s largest technology and innovation event this year will feature gadgets, robots, blogs, games and sites designed by young coders aged from 7-17.

This year also sees the introduction of Launch’d – an event over four stages featuring 50 top international speakers as well as 100 of Ireland’s top tech start-up companies.

Launch’d is aimed at inspiring and supporting the next generation of technology entrepreneurs and will be an essential platform for the Coolest Projects kids, tech professionals and anyone considering a career in coding.

Over 100 Coolest Projects entrants are travelling from across Europe to the RDS event, which is now inspiring similar awards schemes in Belgium, Romania and Silicon Valley.
