CoderDojo
CoderDojo gives young people aged 7 to 17 a free, informal way to learn programming, with sessions ("Dojos") held at various locations around Dublin. The idea behind the movement is that coding skills are increasingly useful in modern life, and that they're easier to pick up the earlier children start. At a Dojo, kids work on practical projects like building a website, creating an app, or making a simple game, in a relaxed, social setting rather than a formal classroom. Because it's free to attend, it's an accessible entry point for families who want their child to try coding without committing to a paid course first.
