Open Tech Calendar

What should I expect?
Prewired provides an unstructured but supportive environment for under 19s to explore and learn about computer programming and related topics. It is a programming club for those under 19 years old and interested in learning to code, or already know how to and want to go even further. It's every second Wednesday of the month.

What will I learn?
Computer let you create anything you can think of. Prewired is here to help enthusiastic young coders of any ability to do just that. If you have your own laptop feel free to bring it with you, if not we can provide one! If you have never coded before, or have but don't know what to do, then introduce yourself to one our mentors when you arrive and they help you to get started.

Who will be there?
We have mentors from university and the industry with a wide variety of skills who volunteer their time because they love to teach young people about computing. Prewired is also a place for young people to meet peers with shared interestes which they can develop together. We want to let young people know that there's a huge community of like-minded people who are waiting to welcome them.
