About Us​

Santa Clarita Valley CoderDojo is a community-based, community-operated, all volunteer-run, free non-profit that provides youth in grades K-12 free learning opportunities in computer programming in a fun, family-friendly, inclusive, social learning environment that also provides skill development in leadership. teamwork, and communications through peer-to-peer learning and presentations. Youth are developed as independent, self-sufficient learners through autonomy in decision making, problem solving, and critical thinking. However, our objective is not simply programming, but to encourage digital literacy by exposing youth members to many different topics. While youth members enjoy computer programming, we look to infuse the environment with opportunities to practice important life skills also needed in the workplace.

Our Mission

We are open to the public, and while the majority of our membership resides in the Santa Clarita Valley area, we also serve families that come from outside the local area.
