Meet the new Dojos
In October,
new Dojo’s opened up from the north of the country, all the way to the
south. Meet them here:
 |
| Greenlab Coworking in Weyler (Arlon) |
CoderDojo Arlon
Province:
Luxembourg
Location:
Greenlab Coworking
Lead coach:
Nicolas Focant
Deep in the south of the country, the CoderDojo
story inspired Nicolas Focant. So he started his own CoderDojo at the Greenlab
Coworking space. Having some trouble finding coaches, he and another coach
hosted their first Dojo for 17 children. Luckily, they got some help from the
parents as well. There is no doubt that their enthusiasm will spread really
fast! Good luck Arlon!
CoderDojo Berchem
 |
| Digitaal Leslokaal (Berchem) |
Province: Antwerpen
Location: Digitaal Leslokaal (Digitale Wolven)Lead coach: Katrijne Deckers
Katrijne
used to be a coach at CoderDojo Roeselare. However, some time ago she moved to
Antwerp and had to stop coaching in Roeselare. So Katrijne opened up her own
Dojo in Berchem with some help from Cindy and her ‘Digitaal Leslokaal’.
CoderDojo Diest
 |
| First session in Diest |
Location: Bibliotheek Diest
Lead coach: Kurt Beheydt
If you
looked at the Dojo locations map, there was one big empty spot in Flanders: the
vicinity of Diest. Kurt thought it was about time to launch a Dojo in Diest, so
he called for help on social media and gathered a team of technology
enthusiast. After a first meeting, they decided to launch a CoderDojo together!
Fun fact:
You might recognize Diest lead Kurt from TV. You could spot him in ‘De schuur
van Scheire’ check out this cool video of him making a popsicle bomb: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwdAuNq3zXc

| Robots during the first session in Fontaine |
CoderDojo Fontaine
Province:
Hainaut
Location: Cyber Space (EPN Fontaine)
Lead coach: Véronique Ben Moussa and Antoine Van Eetvelde
Location: Cyber Space (EPN Fontaine)
Lead coach: Véronique Ben Moussa and Antoine Van Eetvelde
At Fontaine l’Evêque (a small town just outside the Charleroi urban area) Véronique from the local library founded a new Dojo. Already hosting an EPN, this library is really dedicated to helping people gain some digital knowledge. With a fleet of robots and a lot of coding books, this Dojo has everything to become the next hub for digital talent in the region.
CoderDojo Herentals
 |
| First session in Herentals |
Province: Antwerpen
Location: Bibliotheek
Herentals
Lead coach:
Jan Eyckens
There are
many Dojo’s in the sandy region called ‘De Kempen’. However, until recently, there
was no Dojo in its capital Herentals. "What a shame", thought Jan, who was already
enthusiastically attending CoderDojo with his son in Turnhout. So he gathered a
big team of coaches and started his own Dojo in Herentals.
