CoderDojo Grading
CoderDojo did not get its name by accident. A Dojo is a place of learning and while we focus on helping Ninjas to learn in a fun and engaging way, it is important to recognise the success and progression that each Ninja makes. Belts and badges are how this is achieved within CoderDojo.
CoderDojo Belts
Recognizing Ninja’s progress
Belts are awarded to show the progress of a Ninja through the Dojo, covering multiple disciplines from learning to take first steps in IT up to, and including, teaching and the designing of their own projects. We take Ninjas at any level from beginners to those who would like to learn to pass on their skills.
CoderDojo Badges
Earn badges for completing challenges
Badges are awarded for specific tasks, be it learning to write their first program in scratch or designing a website. Badges mount up until they qualify for a belt.
