CoderDojo is an open source, volunteer led community orientated around running free non-profit coding clubs for young people. Since CoderDojo is open source all Dojos are different and completely autonomous!

At Dojos, young people between 7 and 17 learn how to code, develop websites, apps, programs, games and more. Dojos are set up, run and taught by volunteers. In addition to learning to code, members meet like minded people and show what they’ve been working on. CoderDojo makes development and learning to code a fun and sociable experience. CoderDojo also puts a strong emphasis on open source and free software, and has a strong, growing network of members and volunteers globally.
