When did you start coaching for CoderDojo?
I joined CoderDojo as a ninja in September 2014. At the time, there weren’t any Dojos in my neighborhood so we had to make the trip to Gent. I started coaching in Gent in September 2016. In the meantime, I also visited the Dojos in Dilbeek and Schaarbeek. I was coaching in Halle when I decided to start my own Dojo in my hometown.

It’s so cool if you can combine coaching kids with learning something yourself.

Some good advice for other coaches:
CoderDojo is way more fun when you are interested in different topics. I attended the CoderDojo bootcamps and learned a lot about how to organise a CoderDojo and how to work with Arduino and Micro:bit. In my opinion, all coaches should get the opportunity to learn something when they are coaching a CoderDojo. It’s so cool if you can combine coaching kids with learning something yourself.
