In reading this month’s US edition of Wired magazine, I happened upon an excellent write-up of one of Ireland’s own in regards to teaching kids to code. J Paul Gibson, formerly of NUI, made some pretty astounding progress in teaching very young kids about coding.

Kieran Murphy, the editor of Motley Magazine which is based in University College Cork, writes:
“Motley is currently running a survey to find out the true cost of living for students and how increasing student contribution charge (€2,500 this year) and cuts to University budgets will affect students.
“In the survey we’re examining how students fund themselves throughout the college year, seeing how much debt they’re in because of their studies, if having a part-time job is adversely affecting their studies, and whether they believe if their college, students’ union and government is doing enough to help them.”
