Project Report | Jan 30, 2025
Another year of coding and creativity beckons!

Dear Friend,

In this report we’re looking ahead to some exciting events in 2025 and also reflecting on some recent CoderDojo activities.

In November, we had the pleasure of welcoming our Global Clubs Partners to the Raspberry Pi Foundation office in Cambridge, UK, for a day of connection and collaboration. It was fantastic to finally meet so many members of our Code Club and CoderDojo network from around the world, putting faces to the names we've come to know so well.

The day was packed with opportunities for shared learning, engaging exercises, and networking, culminating in a brainstorming session for Moonhack 2025. And of course, no gathering would be complete without great food! A big shoutout to everyone who attended, and special thanks to Kirie Miyajima from CoderDojo Japan, who wrote this lovely blog about his trip.

A couple couple more highlights from our partners include:

  • Congratulations to CoderDojo Netherlands who have been celebrating their 10th year. 
  • Mvelo Hive Trust in Zimbabwe launched an amazing 10 CoderDojos in 2024.

We are extremely grateful to the incredible volunteers, mentors and donors who make our work possible. You are the driving force behind our mission, and we simply wouldn't be here without your dedication, generosity and support.

Coolest Projects 2025 entries are now open!

Coolest Projects is our annual global technology showcase for young people aged up to 18. This is a fantastic opportunity for clubs and young people to share their coding projects and connect with a global audience. This year Coolest Projects will have:  

  • An online showcase and eight in-person events (Ireland, USA, UK, India, Belgium, Ghana, Malaysia & South Africa)
  • Seven project categories, including a new AI category
  • A new group code that makes entering the online showcase easier for Dojos and Code Clubs.

Young creators across the globe can enter their digital technology projects to Coolest Projects to receive feedback, get fun swag and share their creations with the world! For more information visit the Coolest Projects website

Once again, thank you for your continued support. Together, let's continue empowering the next generation of digital creators by igniting their love of coding and shaping a brighter future for all.

With gratitude and until next time,
Emily
