Hi all, CoderDojo Athenry will resume sessions soon.

On Saturday 26th of September we will have an introduction session, from approx 12:00 until 1:30pm. This will be particularly for the parents/guardians of new members, to meet the mentors and learn about what we do.

Coder Dojo is a coding club for children and teens. Generally for ages 7+, but some 6 year olds enjoy it.

Coder Dojo Athenry was established in 2012 and is one of the largest rural coding clubs in the world.

We meet on Saturdays in Clarin College Athenry, usually from 12:00 until 14:00, usually during school term. There is no fee. We welcome children of diverse abilities and backgrounds.

Waqar from the University of Galway will bring his pet called “Scratch” to Coder Dojo tomorrow, March 7th.

We believe the children will enjoy meeting Scratch. Be sure to come along/

CoderDojo is back Saturday 7th of Feb at 12:00 noon in Clarin College.

Just a reminder that there is no CoderDojo this weekend (Saturday 24th) and next weekend (Saturday 31st).

Happy new year everyone! Hope you had a great break. CoderDojo will restart Saturday 10th of January.

Looking forward to seeing you and building new awesomeness in 2026!

We have come to the end of the CoderDojo year 2025.

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow Saturday 6th Dec 2025 at CoderDojo Athenry for our last session before we break for Christmas, also known as our Pizza Party.

You can leave your laptops and tablets at home, but please bring drinks for your own children, as different families have different preferences. We will serve pizza, chips and chicken nuggets. We ask you to consider making a small donation to help cover our costs. Cash preferred but Kieran will also accept Revolut.

Christmas jumpers are encouraged!

Following our winter break, we will return on the 10th Jan 2026.
