PAST Since 2011, Women Who Code built a vibrant community of nearly half a million technologists powered by the passion and dedication of 1,000 volunteers across 145 countries. Together, WWCode created over 20,000 community-led technical trainings, empowered individuals with $3.5 million in scholarships, and dedicated over a million hours to volunteer service. Women Who Code connected people to more than 14,000 career opportunities, all while nurturing leadership growth and career advancement strategies. Women Who Code fostered a global network through every connection and effort where everyone felt a sense of community and support. In April 2024, sadly, due to a lack of funding, Women Who Code had to shut their doors. PRESENT We are humbled to welcome Women Who Code to the LWT family of brands. Our two unique brands share the common passion of uniting business and technology leaders from all backgrounds to level up their skills, network with professionals who can support their career growth and increase their economic power. And we’ve both made an intentional decision to focus our value on mid-senior leaders. Despite the challenges of limited financial resources, we are committed to this community of brilliant leaders. We’re not backing down—we’re doubling down. But we want to be clear, this is not a merger; instead, our team is expanding our family of brands to build upon all of the work Women Who Code has done over the last decade. Whether you’re coding your first line or leading the charge at the highest levels, Women Who Code, we want to support you. We are thrilled to launch two new Women Who Code programs designed to elevate tech leaders :: ⚡️WWCode Leadership empowers mid-to-senior technologists to develop and build their leadership skills. ⚡️ WWCode Cities membership connects you locally and curates custom introductions to support your career growth.

CoderDojo is an open source, volunteer led movement orientated around running free coding clubs (Dojos) for young people between 5 - 17 years old. At a Dojo, young people learn how to code, develop websites, apps, programs, games and much more. Dojos are set up, run and led by volunteers. Dojos make development and learning to code a fun, sociable an awesome experience! The first CoderDojo took place in Cork after it was founded in July 2011 by then 18 year-old coder James Whelton and entrepreneur Bill Liao. Since then, the CoderDojo movement has grown to become a global phenomenon. On any given month, between 10,000 and 20,000 young people are mentored by volunteers to code in more than 400 Dojos in 43 countries around the world (as of May 2014). Today there are Dojos in Romania, Manchester, San Francisco, Tokyo, Africa, Hawaii and many more! CoderDojo is currently supported by the CoderDojo Foundation, a charitable organisation set up by CoderDojo co-founder James Whelton to scale and support the movement on a global level.
