CoderDojo is a free, non-profit IT Club for kids, started in Ireland in 2011, now more than 506 worldwide including 4 in the Netherlands. It's for all levels, and more often than not the Mums and Dads learn as well.
Next CoderDojos are on in Leiden on 1st Nov and 6th Dec. We run in a mixture of English and Dutch, so it's ideally suited to the Expat community. More info below and tickets at the link below. Future events will also appear here.

Leiden's CoderDojo - a free coding club for kids about 7-17 years of age. Our aim is to encouragement young people to get into computing and to be really good at it!
No prior programming experience is required - if you are honestly interested in creating things using computers come a long and try it out! Like all dojos We try to make it relaxed, fun, cool and interesting.
No lectures or classroom approaches here - it's 100% hands-on coding with the help of volunteer mentors to pass On Their knowledge and keep you challenged!
This event is run by volunteers and as such please be nice, patient and if you can help with sponsorship, laptops, mentoring or any other aspect please do not hesitate to contact us!
Tickets are FREE but if you would like to donate all monies will go back into supplies, venue hire, lunch, etc. for the kids attending - organizers and mentors are volunteers and give Their fiduciary time freely.
