Magic from Myth Coding Workshops
AOD Actors of Dionysus are excited to announce its new drama and digital working series in collaboration with coding experts Coder Dojo Brighton and supported by the charity Raspberry Pi Foundation. These FREE workshops are for young people aged 6-16 in Whitehawk, Portslade and Brighton and will prioritise SEND participants.
We are offering three full day practical workshops which consist of a three hour drama workshop exploring exciting characters from ancient and local myth and an afternoon workshop where participants (Ninjas!) work with Coder Dojo mentors to learn how to code using the programming language Scratch. Workshops will be fun, inclusive and aim to inspire both an interest in myth and coding and how the two can combine to create a digital story!
Dates and locations have now been confirmed and will take place on the following dates and venues:
23rd Nov at The Crew Club, 26 Coolham Drive, Whitehawk, BN2 5QW
7th Dec at Blast Theory, 20 Wellington Road, Portslade, BN2 3AA
1st Feb at Community Base, 113 Queen’s Road, Brighton, BN1 3XG
and there will be a Show & Tell opportunity in Feb 2025 to share work in progress with friends and family at Platf9rm in Hove. Date TBC

This project is part funded by the UK government and Brighton and Hove City Council through the Shared Prosperity Fund and also by Chalk Cliff Trust, but further funding is being sought from other sources, including trusts and foundations and corporate sponsors. This is a pilot project and we hope to expand the project to other regions beyond Sussex. AOD Actors of Dionysus is keen to hear from anyone who is interested in supporting this dynamic digital project.
A taster session of our Magic from Myth coding workshops took place on 9th Nov at Platf9rm at Hove Town Hall:
