RTPP

What’s CoderDojo? RTPP CoderDojo all started in James Whelton’s school in Cork in early 2011 Volunteer-led clubs for kids between 7 and 17 can discover how to code As of Oct 2015, there’s over 750 verified CoderDojos in 50 countries!

What’s the cost? RTPP CoderDojo is organised and run by volunteers and everyone gives their time for free

Responsibilities? RTPP The Mentors and our Support team give their time for our CoderDojo for free There’s a waiting-list already open for this CoderDojo, so demand is high If you can’t be responsible, attend regularly, or if you cause trouble, then there are others who will be asked to join in your place
