The CoderDojo Foundation are here to help
guide you through the process!
1. Become a Champion.
A Champion is the individual who takes the
lead on organising a Dojo. Champions can be
parents, teachers, technologists or just
individuals who want to do something for their
community. To kick off the process register
yourself on coderdojo.com/start
2. Gather A Team.
Dojos work best when a team is built to
support and manage them. All Dojos require a
technical mentor (ratio of 1:10 minimum), non
technical volunteers can manage registration
or social media.
How do you start a Dojo?
3. Find a Venue.
Dojos can be run in any venue that has wifi,
chairs, tables and heat! Libraries, canteens,
community centers, meeting rooms all work.
The venue should be donated for free.
4. Plan Your Dojo.
Dojos can run weekly, bi-weekly or monthly,
pick what works for you and set a start date.
Decide on what content to start your Dojo off
with, for help here visit the CoderDojo wiki
kata.coderdojo.com.
5. Promote your Dojo.
Promote your Dojo to local youth club, schools
or among colleagues and friends. The average
Dojo size is 35 but you can start small and
work up!
