Over 1,000 young people are showcasing websites, apps, games and robotics they have developed at the CoderDojo Coolest Projects Showcase in Dublin today.
15,000 people are expected to attend the event at the RDS.
This is the sixth year it has taken place and in that time it has grown, alongside the CoderDojo organisation, into a global event.
Children and young adults taking part in this year's event come from 17 different countries, including Australia, Belgium, France, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Portugal, the UK, the US, Argentina and Japan.
The young people, aged from 6-17 years, will display the projects they have been working on throughout the year at their local CoderDojo.
Organisers say the aim of the showcase is to inspire the next generation of digital creators, innovators, changemakers and entrepreneurs.

Event also includes a range of interactive exhibits, while a number of speakers will also be sharing their knowledge and advice with those attending.
CoderDojo was founded in Cork in July 2011 and since then has grown 1,300 dojos in 70 countries around the globe.
Over 100,000 young people have taken part in those dojos over the last five years, with over a million hours volunteered by the 9,000 people who help them learn.
