CoderDojo Nederland

CoderDojo Nederland is a Dutch non-profit organization dedicated to teaching children aged seven to seventeen programming skills through free, volunteer-led workshops held across various locations in the Netherlands. The initiative fosters an open community where young participants learn to build websites, games, and robots while developing technical projects using tools like Arduino under the guidance of mentors who may not possess deep coding expertise but provide essential support for project execution and logistics.

• Services: Offers free programming education covering website development, game creation, app building, and robotics construction alongside social networking opportunities.
• Industries: Serves the youth technology sector by introducing children to digital skills and hardware engineering through hands-on workshops.
• Locations: Operates multiple dojos throughout the Netherlands with a goal of hosting sessions at least once monthly in communities near participants.
• Operations: Relies entirely on volunteers for setup, communication, registration, promotion, and collaboration management without charging fees or requiring prior technical knowledge from mentors.

Founded in 2016, the organization expanded its reach by organizing major events such as DojoConNL at the Ziggo Dome and hosting specialized sessions like Unplugged Dojo in Leiden to engage diverse groups of young learners nationwide.
