What is CoderDojo?
-
A place to have fun learning about technology and coding
-
Learn to think about how websites, apps, animations and games are built ⇒ by creating some of your own!
-
Collaborate ⇒ Work together or support what others are creating, share ideas, techniques and suggestions
-
As we advance our skills ⇒ become Mentors to help others learn
We'll review a few basics, then jump right into coding projects. Always feel free to ask questions or use a "Red Cup" to get help from a Mentor.
