Hi HN,

For those that don't know, CoderDojo is a free non-for-profit movement to help young people (ages 7-17) learn how to code.

We will be hosting the 1st NYC CoderDojo this Saturday. If you know any youngsters that may be interested in joining us for an afternoon of learning and fun, please share this with them.

The event is free and we will have laptops available for kids that don't have one. Also, parents are welcome to join!

Event details: coderdojonyc.eventbrite.com

Live in NYC and want to volunteer? Awesome! Please sign-up here: http://eepurl.com/kJZDf

I'm a 17 year old programmer and Rails developer, and I'll be interning with a New York company this summer, late June to late August. I don't know how in depth these are going to get (HTML & CSS are a few years back for me) or how late into the summer these will run, but either way I'd love to be there--whether to learn or to help other young people get involved in code. Seems like a fantastic opportunity to meet other young programmers. Keep it up!

Getting kids into code is what it's all about. Let's do it
