and how you can set one

00:00:10.350 --> 00:00:12.300 align:middle line:84%
I'm Philip Harney, the

00:00:16.379 --> 00:00:19.290 align:middle line:84%
Over the past six years, I've
been a Dojo founder, champion,

00:00:19.290 --> 00:00:20.110 align:middle line:90%
and mentor.

00:00:20.110 --> 00:00:22.717 align:middle line:84%
And it's been a brilliant
experience for me.

00:00:22.717 --> 00:00:24.550 align:middle line:84%
I'm looking forward to
helping you start out

00:00:24.550 --> 00:00:26.160 align:middle line:90%
on that same journey.

00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:28.650 align:middle line:84%
I'm Giustina Mizzoni,
the Executive Director

00:00:28.650 --> 00:00:30.390 align:middle line:90%
of the CoderDojo foundation.

00:00:30.390 --> 00:00:32.040 align:middle line:84%
I've been involved
in the CoderDojo

00:00:32.040 --> 00:00:34.480 align:middle line:90%
movement for over five years.

00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:37.230 align:middle line:84%
I joined the foundation
as the first employee,

00:00:37.230 --> 00:00:39.930 align:middle line:84%
working with the co-founder,
James Whelton, to get it up

00:00:39.930 --> 00:00:40.660 align:middle line:90%
and running.

00:00:40.660 --> 00:00:42.290 align:middle line:90%
And I'm Ina Panayotova.

00:00:42.290 --> 00:00:44.550 align:middle line:84%
I'm a mentor in
CoderDojo, and I'm

00:00:44.550 --> 00:00:47.400 align:middle line:84%
in my second year of computer
science in University College

00:00:47.400 --> 00:00:47.940 align:middle line:90%
Cork.

00:00:47.940 --> 00:00:49.648 align:middle line:84%
I've been coding with
my younger brothers

00:00:49.648 --> 00:00:51.420 align:middle line:90%
for as long as I can remember.

00:00:51.420 --> 00:00:53.910 align:middle line:84%
I was lucky enough to join
the world's first Dojo

00:00:53.910 --> 00:00:56.340 align:middle line:90%
when I was 13 in 2012.

00:00:56.340 --> 00:00:59.230 align:middle line:84%
At the start I was simply a
Ninja helping out mentors,

00:00:59.230 --> 00:01:02.250 align:middle line:84%
and before I knew it, I found
myself mentoring one on one,

00:01:02.250 --> 00:01:05.280 align:middle line:84%
then moving on to teaching small
groups and eventually entire

00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:07.140 align:middle line:90%
classes without realising it.

00:01:07.140 --> 00:01:09.150 align:middle line:84%
This course is for
anyone, no matter

00:01:09.150 --> 00:01:10.880 align:middle line:84%
their level of
technical skill, who

00:01:10.880 --> 00:01:13.590 align:middle line:84%
is passionate about helping
young people in their community

00:01:13.590 --> 00:01:16.950 align:middle line:84%
develop their skills and
creativity with technology.

00:01:16.950 --> 00:01:19.880 align:middle line:84%
We'll show you how to
start a Dojo, build a team,

00:01:19.880 --> 00:01:24.360 align:middle line:84%
plan your Dojo sessions, and run
them in a fun and engaging way.

00:01:24.360 --> 00:01:26.730 align:middle line:84%
We are looking forward to
meeting you, and helping

00:01:26.730 --> 00:01:29.640 align:middle line:84%
you get your Dojos up and
running, and then seeing

00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:32.460 align:middle line:84%
the amazing things that
you and the young people

00:01:32.460 --> 00:01:34.850 align:middle line:90%
in your community create.

00:01:34.850 --> 00:01:39.413 align:middle line:90%
