CoderDojo - The global network of code clubs for kids

About CoderDojo

The CoderDojo movement believes that an understanding of programming languages is increasingly important in the modern world, that it’s both better and easier to learn these skills early, and that nobody should be denied the opportunity to do so. To that end, we’ve built a global network of free, volunteer-led, community-based programming clubs for young people. Anyone aged seven to seventeen can visit a Dojo where they can learn to code, build a website, create an app or a game, and explore technology in an informal, creative, and social environment.

Movement

CoderDojo is a true global movement and phenomenon. Volunteers all around the world help young people build a positive future through coding and community.

Foundation

The Foundation was established in 2013 by CoderDojo co-founder James Whelton to provide a structured entity to support the rapid expansion of the global movement.

Supporters

CoderDojo is supported by organisations and philanthropists who share our vision of a world where every child has the opportunity to learn to code and be creative in a safe and social environment.

Regonal Groups

The CoderDojo movement is supported by regional bodies in specific areas around the world. They work with the Foundation in addressing the needs and challenges of the Dojos in their regions.
