Google is helping young learners explore technology through hands-on coding workshops. CoderDojo mentors are now using Google’s AIY (Artificial Intelligence Yourself) kits to teach kids how to build simple AI projects. These free, volunteer-led clubs give children a chance to learn programming in a fun and supportive setting.

The AIY kits include everything needed to start experimenting with voice recognition, image classification, and other beginner-friendly AI tools. Kids follow step-by-step guides to assemble hardware and write basic code. Mentors guide them through each stage, answering questions and encouraging creativity.
Many participants are trying AI for the first time. They enjoy seeing their projects come to life—like a voice-controlled robot or a camera that identifies objects. The experience builds confidence and sparks interest in science and engineering.
CoderDojo sessions take place in community centers, libraries, and schools around the world. Google provides the kits and training materials at no cost. Volunteers receive support to run effective workshops, even if they are not experts in AI.
Parents say their children look forward to these sessions. They notice improvements in problem-solving skills and teamwork. Some kids go on to join school tech clubs or enter coding competitions.
Google believes every child should have access to tech education. By partnering with CoderDojo, the company helps make learning about artificial intelligence more inclusive. The program removes barriers like cost and technical knowledge. It shows that anyone can start learning AI with curiosity and a little guidance.

Workshops continue to grow in number as more mentors sign up. Google plans to expand the availability of AIY kits to meet rising demand. Local organizers welcome new volunteers who want to inspire the next generation of innovators.
