A GAME
Build something playable. Scratch, engines, story, mechanics — start anywhere.
There is no right way to start.
CODE.CREATE.LEAD.
Come curious. Leave having built something — a game, a robot, an idea, a new skill, or something nobody expected.
West Sound CoderDojo is a free, open place to explore, make, solve, experiment and learn together. Coding is part of it. AI is part of it. DIY is part of it. Curiosity is the through-line.
No tuition. No prerequisites. No minimum age. Bring curiosity; bring the support you need.

WHAT WILL YOU BUILD?
You do not have to pick a class, follow a track, or already know what you're doing. Start with the thing that makes you want to try.
A WEBSITE
Put an idea on the internet. Design it. Code it. Make it yours.
WITH AI
Direct it. Question it. Create with it. Learn where human judgment matters most.
WITH CODE
Python, JavaScript, Scratch — or whatever language your project pulls you toward.
WITH YOUR HANDS
Raspberry Pi, circuits, repair, sensors, cardboard prototypes. DIY belongs here.
YOUR OWN THING
Already making something? Bring it. Have an odd idea? Even better.
Come as you are
CURIOUS?
YOU BELONG.
Some people arrive before they can spell “JavaScript.” Others arrive after decades in technology. Some come with a parent, grandparent or sibling. Some adults come because they want to learn too.
There is no lower edge to curiosity, and no upper age limit on learning.
How CoderDojo works
EXPLORE. CREATE. BELONG.
Mentors do not stand at the front and tell everyone what to do. People build, get stuck, ask questions, help one another, change direction and keep going.
Follow the spark.
Choose a project, a problem, a tool, or a question you want to understand.
Make it real.
Try it. Break it. Search. Ask. Debug. Rebuild. The learning happens in the doing.
Pass it on.
Show somebody what worked. Help with what you know. Learn from somebody who knows something else.

YOUR SATURDAY COULD LOOK LIKE THIS.
Two hours. No lecture hall. No grades. No pressure to keep pace with anyone else.
10:30Walk in.
With an idea — or none.
10:43Pick a direction.
Find something worth trying.
11:02Break it.
Spectacularly, perhaps.
11:07Ask around.
Someone has seen this before.
11:46Make it work.
Or make a better mistake.
12:30Leave different.
With something you didn't have before.
CoderDojo for the AI era
BUILD WITH AI.
LEAD WITH HUMANITY.
AI is a collaborator here — not a replacement for thought. Participants learn to direct, evaluate, question and create with AI while keeping human judgment in charge.
Meet Ash + explore the Sprint →AI Mentor
ASH IS STILL HERE. 😂
Our AI in Residence helps people learn how to prompt, push back, question outputs and think with AI rather than surrender thinking to it.
Build the room with us
EVERYONE BRINGS SOMETHING.
Learn here. Mentor here. Help run the room. Support the work. Start another dojo. Or show someone what you figured out five minutes ago.
Know something? Share it.
You do not need to be a formal teacher or an expert in everything.
Keep free learning free.
Partners, sponsors, volunteers and WSTA help keep the door open.
Make opportunity travel.
The William Huckabee STEM Scholarship helps curiosity continue beyond Saturday.
Since 2015 · Still free
