What your MegaDojo should be like

MegaDojo is a chance for your wider local community to experience a Dojo for a day and to see the mentors in action. It should be a safe space where children, mentors, parents, and sponsors who have an interest in ICT and STEM education can come together. Above all, it should be a relaxed, structured introduction for kids and parents to what CoderDojo is all about.

You should offer:

• Varied hands-on workshops on all levels of HTML, Scratch, and micro:bit
• Enough mentors to give the Ninjas adequate support (1 mentor for every 6–10 young people)
• A ‘questions and answers’ stand where newcomers and parents can chat to you about their queries and about all things CoderDojo: technologies, activities, and events

You could also offer:

• Engaging live demonstrations of coding tools and electronics kits for learners
