Empower Your Child with Coding
Welcome to Philly CoderDojo, where local volunteers ignite passion and opportunity for youth by equipping young minds with coding skills that open doors to a brighter future.
Coding for Opportunity
Philly CoderDojo is a catalyst for change in a city where nearly 37% of children face poverty and opportunities for high-wage jobs are limited. We empower young minds with coding skills that not only unlock creativity and problem-solving but also pave the way for future success in the booming tech industry.
Driving Future Success
We’re lighting the path to prosperity. In 2015, there were over 7 million job openings in occupations requiring coding skills, growing 12% faster than the market average. That's why at Philly CoderDojo, we’re not just teaching coding; we're focusing on the future. Whether your child dreams of building apps, mastering robotics, or crafting websites, our clubs provide hands-on experience and mentorship to turn their dreams into reality.
