My panel session featured three academic colleagues, and Manon van Hoorebeke, a 13-year old school girl from Belgium. Manon was 11 when she won the 2014 award of European Digital Girl for her work coding with Scratch and Arduino. She learnt her skills at Coderdojo events, and now passes these on to other children.
