Frequently Asked Questions:

What is Coder Dojo?
-A Coder Dojo class is a free, volunteer-led, community-based computer club for young people. Anyone aged 7 to 17 can visit a Dojo and learn to code, build a website, or create an app or game. Dojos are a space for kids and teens to explore technology in an informal, creative, safe and social environment.We promote a focus on youth mentoring, and on peer and self-led learning.

Who are we?
-Coder Dojo Kerry is a group of people in the technology space in Kerry who are running Coder Dojo Classes in a number of towns across Kerry. We teach children between 7 and 17 the basics of software coding. We are volunteers. We try and get them interested in technology and how coding and software works. The classes are typically an hour and a half and parents who bring the children must wait around nearby while the class is going on. Our group of volunteers is driven by Tralee company Aspen Grove, the Tom Crean centre in the Kerry Technology Park and the Tech Industry Alliance.

Are you Garda vetted?
-The classes are run and staffed by volunteers who are Garda vetted. More info at coderdojo.com

How often are the classes on?
-Classes are held once a week for an hour and a half where children between the ages of 7-17 will learn the basics of computer coding in the classes. We cover scratch and HTML coding and other coding languages.

When are the classes on?
-Classes run at different times depending on the town. For more information on specific classes, times and days, click on “Book a class”. This will give you the nearest class to you.

What do children need to bring?
-If they have a laptop (or parents laptop) we ask that they bring that. We have a limited number of laptops for children that do not have a laptop so don't worry if you do not have one. A parent must stay near the child for the duration of the class.

My child has special needs?
-Many of the children attending our class have special needs. We will work with parents to address any additional requirements. Email us on [email protected]

How much are the classes?
-The classes are free

Can you give me an idea on what the classes cover?
-The course covers basic scratch, HTML and other types of coding. Here is an idea of the content... https://coderdojo.com/en/session-resources

Will you be expanding to other towns any time soon?
-Yes. We hope to expand to more towns. If you have a venue and are willing to help set up a class in your area, drop us an email at [email protected]. Keep an eye on our page which is linked on this website. For now, you can see what classes we run in our “Book a Class” section

Can I volunteer?
-Yes please. We are always looking for volunteers who can help. We are particularly interested in people with software experience who can code and are willing to teach a class or help to teach a class. Contact us to volunteer. Email at [email protected]

Coder Dojo Kerry

We kicked off our Coder Dojo classes in Tralee last Saturday. Great class with over 35 children between 7-17. We are operating a waiting list for the Tralee class which will run for another 5 weeks - before breaking and starting again after Easter. To be added to that list - email us on [email protected]

We are also looking to expand Coder Dojo to other towns in Kerry. Killarney, Killorglin, Di**le, Listowel and so on. If you can help with that, please get in touch. Maybe you are a parent in one of those towns..... maybe you have some tech skills that would mean you could lead a basic code course (scratch or HTML). We will provide all the help and support to get it started. Contact us on [email protected]

The new Tralee Coder Dojo class starts this Saturday on January 20th in the Tom Crean Centre. The classes are fully booked now but we are operating a waiting list. Email [email protected] to join the waiting list.
