summary

An organizer recounts building a national CoderDojo network that grows from about 25 to 75 dojos in Japan by 2017 while 1,150+ exist worldwide, with Asia’s surge concentrated in Japan. The model uses Scratch, Minecraft, Raspberry Pi and weekly drop‑in sessions, emphasizes peer learning, seeds new dojos (one junior‑high student spawned a club with ~20 signups), runs DojoCon Japan and publishes a story‑based Scratch book to scale community mentoring.
