About CoderDojo

CoderDojo is a global movement of free, volunteer-led, community-based programming clubs for young people. At a Dojo, young people, between 7 and 17, learn how to code, develop websites, apps, programs, 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 Toledo Region's first CoderDojo meets every Saturday from noon to 3pm.

Join a dynamic group of students, technology experts and community leaders for the second annual 24-hour Toledo Smart Cities Hackathon.

Hackathon teams will compete for prize money while solving some of the biggest challenges facing the region such as transportation and safe water, while examining how technology could help improve everyday life in Northwest Ohio.

Join us at the hackathon where students and tech experts will be to solve real world problems like student displacement and housing insecurity, clean and safe water and the future of transportation.

Bring your laptop and join us at the hackathon for 24 hours of fun, food and prizes.

Oh, and don’t forget the $1500 of prize money to be won!
