Register
CoderDojo is FREE but registration is required as there are limited spaces available. This year we are doing the sign-up for the entire term instead of week to week. New people are still welcome to join after the term starts if we still have spaces available. You can email us at coderdojonelson@gmail.com and we’ll let you know if spaces are available or put you on a waiting list.
NOTE (updated 25/9/18): Term 4 of 2018 registration will be opening soon.

Our General Manager Michael Trengrove shares his inspiring trip to Raspberry Fields 🎉
While he may look a bit like a character from Star Trek, some of you may recognise Emil as one of the newest mentors at Coder Dojo, volunteering his time to help children learn to code. And this is not the latest VR game headset, It's a device to help Emil see and a great example of how technology can be used to help people overcome obstacles. Who knows, perhaps some of the children from this group may go on to use their skills to help others in the future.
