CoderDojo
IT Services and IT Consulting
A global network of free, volunteer-led, community-based programming clubs for young people that are creative & social.
About us
CoderDojo is an open source, volunteer led movement orientated around running free coding clubs (Dojos) for young people between 5 - 17 years old. At a Dojo, young people learn how to code, develop websites, apps, programs, games and much more. Dojos are set up, run and led by volunteers. Dojos make development and learning to code a fun, sociable an awesome experience! The first CoderDojo took place in Cork after it was founded in July 2011 by then 18 year-old coder James Whelton and entrepreneur Bill Liao. Since then, the CoderDojo movement has grown to become a global phenomenon. On any given month, between 10,000 and 20,000 young people are mentored by volunteers to code in more than 400 Dojos in 43 countries around the world (as of May 2014). Today there are Dojos in Romania, Manchester, San Francisco, Tokyo, Africa, Hawaii and many more! CoderDojo is currently supported by the CoderDojo Foundation, a charitable organisation set up by CoderDojo co-founder James Whelton to scale and support the movement on a global level. To join your local CoderDojo, you can find your nearest one from: http://zen.coderdojo.com/

Well done Yang Liu, and all involved, for your efforts over the last two years to support young people learning to create with code through CoderDojo sessions at EY 👏 🎉
Celebrating two-year anniversary of CoderDojo at EY, an EY Ripples initiative to teach young people between 7 and 17 how to code. Words can't express how much I appreaciated the support we've got from CR team, partners, EY Foundation, parents, and volunteers. What began as a mere concept has blossomed into pilot events, themed events, and a presence across multiple locations. It's really amazing when we look back that we see a squiglly path behind us and we know that we worked really hard to get here! A big thank you to everyone who's been on this journey with me! Let's keep the big smile on our faces and run more coding events to inspire next generation to discover the joy of using technology! #EYRipples #RaspberryPiFoundation #CoderDojo #Inspire
