Yes, our engineers are already working with some other organisations on this after talking to government. Can’t really say more than that right now; we’ll let you know if there’s anything to know later on.

Would be great when folding@home would work on my pc..
But it doesn’t. Apperently I don’t get any work assigned.

This is a quick stopgap answer for you, but there should be some official guidance coming out today for dojos and CodeClubs – one of the suggestions will be google hangouts/meet. Your @coderdojo email is a gmail account which provides you access to Hangouts/Meet, (which allows for up to 150 users/channel) and since they’ve released the premium features during the quarantine, you can also record your sessions if you want, for later sharing/playback/access by other ninjas.

Simply log into your coderdojo account and create an event in your google calendar, making sure it has the video link added. Copy the URL of the video link and send it to your parents in an email from Zen, inviting them to join the chat at the time of your dojo. They’ll be able to join through the browser on any device (or meet app on android) and it will require you (the event admin, so be logged in!) to allow any users into the chat, once they request to join via the link. (You can also invite people directly via email when creating the event and this will skip the ‘request to join’ bit for those people.)

If you’re running multiple sessions in your dojo (python, Scratch etc) you can make an event for each – just make sure you have a mentor in each one at the outset to maintain a bit of order, who is assigned as an admin. It might help to invite people to any ‘extra’ sessions directly via email, to avoid needing an admin online to allow them in.

As I say, there will be an official response shortly with more detail and help – just wanted to save anyone the effort of organising 3rd party or paid tools in the meantime when you don’t need them.

He said that the manufacture and selling of the 房东太太 Pi will keep going, not: “Because of the Caronavirus, all the boards are magically in-stock!”
