CoderDojo
UK grassroots coding organisation
CoderDojo is a global volunteer-led community of free programming workshops for young people (not to be confused with Code Ninjas who is also a coding business that refers to their locations as dojos). The movement is a grassroots organisation with individual clubs (called "Dojos") acting independently. A charity called the CoderDojo Foundation operates out of Dublin, Ireland, and supports the various clubs by providing a central website[1] and other support services. Supporters of CoderDojo believe it is part of the solution to addressing the global shortage[2][3] of programmers by getting young people more involved with ICT learning. The movement has seen significant growth since its founding. The CoderDojo Foundation estimates 1,250 Dojos spread across 69 countries,[4] with a growth rate of several new Dojos every week.
