The BNI Foundation is supporting the work of CoderDojo and is actively looking for more members to join in!
CoderDojo is a global movement of free, volunteer-led, community-based programming clubs for young people. At a Dojo, youth between 7 and 17 learn how to code; develop websites, apps, programs, and games; and explore technology in an informal and creative environment. In addition to learning to code, attendees meet like-minded people and are exposed to the possibilities of technology.
Within the CoderDojo movement there is a focus on community, peer learning, youth mentoring and self-led learning, with an emphasis on showing how coding is a force for change in the world.
The BNI Foundation is looking for BNI members to open their offices for the kids who need internet access and want to learn more about coding. Beth Misner said, “This is a natural fit for our BNI members to be in kids’ stories!”
