In many countries far fewer women than men study STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) subjects and work in these fields. Across 35 European countries, less than one in five computer science graduates is a woman. At the CoderDojo Foundation, we believe it is vitally important that we band together and make a conscious, consistent, and collaborative effort to increase the number of girls who have the opportunity to learn how to create with technology. Through learning to code at their local Dojo, girls develop skills such logical thinking, problem-solving, communication, mentoring, and teamwork. Regardless… Read More

In November, we opened the CoderDojo Annual Survey. All Dojos running regularly across 75 countries were invited to share their experiences.

Thank you to all 520 Dojo champions and lead mentors who took the time to fill in this… Read More
