Today is 11 years since the very first CoderDojo session in Cork, Ireland.

We've made some amazing memories, projects and friends during that time.

Talking to volunteers recently we've seen so much enthusiasm for the future 🎉🎂🥳

We've greatly benefited from their generous support for K-12 education to lift the session time limit and keeping it free for us. Thank you @Zoom for your support that helped this local volunteer-led learning community also reach kids across the US and in Kenya, Ghana and Nepal.

[CoderDojoApexNC @coderdojoapexnc]

Long overdue shout out to @Zoom. When the Pandemic hit we'd to quickly pivot to virtual and not knowing what tool would be best suited or how our young learning community would quickly get adjusted to it. We heard this thing called Zoom and gave it a try.

[CoderDojoApexNC @coderdojoapexnc]

Almost 2+ years later and moving back to in-person, we still support our remote friends from CA,WA, IL, Kenya, Nepal using @Zoom. Gallery view, Waiting/Breakout rooms, chat + backgrounds have been essential to building a secure yet fun virtual environment for our young community.

[☯CoderDojo☯ @CoderDojo]

Coolest Projects is a chance for young people to showcase the tech projects they have created in a fun, safe, and supportive environment

We welcome projects of all levels and programming languages — so get your young people to share their creations! 🙌

Here's a recap of our Winter ❄️ Term:
We had a great start 🚀 to the year with the launch of Ninja Peak Adventure and Ninja Ambassador Corps (NAC). Ninjas completed activities to earn Ninja Peak Adventure points to cash in for our monthly drawings & 2 winners got a STEM kit.

[CoderDojoApexNC @coderdojoapexnc]

Our mission for NAC, is to provide opportunities for youth members to take leadership roles to help grow and run our volunteer-led community. We hope to one day transition to a club run by the youth and for the youth.
