Whats A Champion

Becoming a Champion
The first step towards setting up a Dojo is to register your interest as a CoderDojo Champion

Gathering your Team
Once we have found out a little more about you and your proposed Dojo the next step is for you to find some Mentors and Volunteers to help you organise and run your Dojo. We recommend gathering a team of interested and dedicated individuals from the start, it will really have a positive impact on your Dojo and cut down the workload for everyone involved.

If it is legally required in your area it is important that you and your mentors are sufficiently background checked to ensure your safety and that of the young people you will be working with.

You can find out more about background checking here.

Find your Venue
The next step then is to find your Venue.

Set a Date
Once you have found your Venue and gathered a team of Mentors and Volunteers you can begin to Plan your Dojo. You can hold planning meetings with your team and plan promoting your Dojo and getting kids to come, getting more mentors involved and what Learning Resources you wish to use in your Dojo. We recommend using Eventbrite to register and manage your attendees.

Zen
Once you have found a Venue, some Mentors and Volunteers and have settled on a target date for your Dojo to start the next step is to register on Zen, the Dojo listing system, and create a listing for your Dojo.

Once your listing has been verified you will visable on the global map of Dojos.
