Mentors for workshops: Without your support our DiMi-Camp would not be possible!

September 8, 2022

As part of our DiMi-Camp for tech-savvy kids and teens aged 10-15, we need lots of helpers for the numerous workshops.

Therefore, every year we ask the employees of the DIGITAL MILE companies to spend 1-2 mornings (approx. 08:30-13:00 h) as mentors to help the children with words and deeds.

  • There will be about 5 different workshops per morning, each with 10-12 children.
  • Each workshop is led by a lead mentor from CoderDojo, with the support of at least one other person (= mentor from the DiMi companies).
  • Mentor requirements: good programming or electronics skills (depending on the workshop) and, above all, joy and enthusiasm for working with children.
  • It is very important for us to have a largely binding commitment, both on the part of the DiMi companies for the release of employees, but also on your part as volunteer mentors. We need this for good workshop planning.

Do you want to do good too?

Then be a mentor at our next DiMi-Camp from 21-25.08.2023!
Please register in time in spring (by the end of May at the latest) by email to wittner@techharbor.at - thank you!
