Code Explorers (formerly CoderDojo TC)

A free, friendly program where kids learn to code

We are meeting both in-person and virtually!

We are back to meeting in person and continuing to also hold virtual Code Explorer sessions! Please register as a volunteer if you would like to be an online mentor.

How to help

Volunteer

The number of mentors limits how many kids we can serve. If you have some coding know-how (or want to learn), we want to meet you!

Your tax-deductible donation helps Coder Savvy purchase equipment, run volunteer background checks, defray administrative costs, and more.

What is CoderDojo?

CoderDojo is a global movement about providing free and open learning to youth, with an emphasis on computer programming. The Twin Cities chapter was founded to bring this movement to the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area, inspire other chapters, and partner with other organizations to better introduce kids to coding. After the passing of Matt Gray in 2021, MN based non-profit Code Savvy took over managing the program under the name "Code Explorers".

Code Explorers welcomes all interested kids ages 8 to 17 and will work proactively to eliminate gender and socioeconomic barriers to computer science by providing a no-cost way for young people to experience programming early—and have fun doing it!
