2. 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!

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

4. 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

We’ll progress to more complex coding in Node.js, Java, HTML, Raspberry Pi,
We’ll use Bluemix if requested / good fit
