Busy as ever here at the CoderDojo Foundation with lots of events and Community News to share with you since our last report.
In September we reached the 500 Dojo mark and we are now operating Dojos in 50 countries worldwide with Dojos being set up in new countries Madagascar, Cameroon, and Argentina in the past few weeks. CoderDojo is exponentially growing and we are striving to impact 100,000 young people every week by 2016.
We have also held numerous events for European Code Week in October, including a Dojo in the European Parliament where the 30 CoderDojo kids from 6 EU Countries taught MEPs their first line of code. Check out our post event report in the links below.
Lastly, the CoderDojo Foundation have announced partnerships with AutoDesk and CodeStarter in the past few months. Code Starter are partnering with us to help give children in underprivileged areas access to a laptop, and Autodesk are giving access to free 3D Design software for Dojos globally.
For more information about what we have been up to check out our Q3 report in the link below.
We value all of our supporters incredibly highly and without your support we could not continue to aspire to make possible our vision of giving every child in the world the opportunity to learn how to code in a safe and creative environment. We encourage you all to continue your support, and we would love if you could inform your friends, family or colleagues about our work and encourage them to support us too!
