The National Museum of Computing CoderDojo is part of a global movement of free, open, volunteer-led coding clubs (Dojos) where young people aged 7–17 (Ninjas) can explore digital technology with the support of their fellow Ninjas and volunteer mentors. CoderDojo’s mission is to give young people around the world the opportunity to learn to code in a social and safe environment.

It’s free to come along and both complete beginners and experienced coders are welcome. Accompanying adults do not need tickets.

There will usually be some activities using languages such as Scratch, Python and Javascript and sometimes some physical computing using e.g. microbits or Raspberry Pis. You are also welcome to work on your own projects with the help of our mentors.

Practical Info

Please bring a laptop if you can - we have a few that can be borrowed but contact us beforehand to make sure that we reserve one for you. We have some power cables, but recommend that you also make sure it is fully charged before you come.

The CoderDojo takes place in the Meeting Room which will be signposted.

There is a car park immediately outside The National Museum of Computing – after the Bletchley Park main entrance, continue up the slope past other carparks to the top.

You are welcome to bring lunch.

Parents or carers must accompany their child/children throughout the session and take responsibility for them and for their belongings.

The session is free and there is a discount off day entry tickets to the museum for participants who would like to visit the museum afterwards.

If you book and then cannot come please cancel your booking or let us know.
