Who: CoderDojo Apex (CDA) in Partnership with Myles of Great Hopes (MoGH) are hereby enabling the international participation of children between the ages of 8-14 to learn and make with Technology

Coder Dojo Apex (CDA) has been serving residents of the Raleigh Triangle area since its inception in 2019 but has also recently expanded its community virtually to out of state participants. (https://zen.coderdojo.com/dojos/us/apex-nc/apex-nc)

Background

CoderDojo is a global, volunteer-led movement of free, open coding clubs with a mission to provide opportunities for young people to learn to program computers and be creators of technology. The movement believes that it is better and easier to learn these skills early and nobody should be denied an opportunity to do so.

The Myles of Great Hopes (MoGH) an International Nonprofit has a vision of Reviving, Empowering and Sustaining Hopes for the underserved communities in Africa, mostly focused in Kenya but also remains engaged locally in the Raleigh Triangle area. Our scope of work involves clean Water provision, Health Sanitation and Education to students in public schools. (https://www.mylesofgreathopes.org/ourstory/)
