Do students need prior knowledge or experience to attend?
No prior knowledge or skill is necessary. Any student can learn to code.

What should I do if I need to cancel my registration?
Please contact us should you need to cancel a registration.
Do I need to register my student to attend a Dojo?
Yes. Registration helps us plan and deliver the best Dojo experience for the students. Room capacity and limited supply of equipment are two factors that may require us to turn away a non-registered student.
