 Our next talk, so Yohai Yasukawa is a Ruby developer. Oh yeah. Yes, as far as I see. And he will be talking about dojo, kiss dojo, or training kids in Japan. Thank you. I'm glad to be here now. Actually, I'd like to share what happens in Japan. In Japan, we co-founded Koda Dojo, which is a free volunteer-led open source programming club for young people. And then it's a gradually increase and it's now a big movement in Japan. So now I'd like to share our knowledge and experiences with you as an Asian and international people. Koda Dojo is originally started in late 2012, sorry, late 2011 in Iran. And it's going to San Francisco and GitHub hosted and supported the Koda Dojo, then spread all over the world. And in that time, in 2012, in Japan, we started the Koda Dojo open source community. We started building a Koda Dojo community from a very small cafe which is called the open source cafe. This is just a first time of Koda Dojo, just a second time of Koda Dojo. So the Koda Dojo is, in three words, is a technology, kids, and in an open source way. We share our knowledge and the kids, for example, teaching each other. And we actually, yeah, it's often misunderstood that Koda Dojo is a kind of classroom. For example, I teach kids how to program, but this is not encouraged. Actually, we encourage kids to teach each other or run from each other. So it's often called peer learning. Also, we encourage kids and adults sometimes to show what you created or what you're doing and tell it to the communities in your region. We also call it the show on tape. So the kids, he's now showing that his games that he's creating now. And then he get a feedback and get motivated. And then he continue to create a program, make a program. Also, we have met many lesson learned things when we learned Koda Dojo. So we, as the same meaning, same way as the open source community, we share the lesson learned things, the documents or information and knowledge. And also, as we do now, we actually encourage everyone, enjoy the Dojo to run. Now the Koda Dojo in Japan is really becoming big. And for example, this is just a screenshot of the timeline in Japan, the Koda Dojo. So in a week, every week the Dojo has happened in many areas in Japan. And actually, for example, in the number, the last year, we had 25 Dojos in Japan. But now, this 2017, the March, we had 75 plus Dojos. And so almost half of the Japanese prefectures have a Koda Dojo from the top, from the bottom. And as I said before, the Koda Dojo is not a Japanese open source community. Not only the Japanese one, but also the worldwide one. So outside Japan, there are 70 countries and 1,200 Dojos in the world. And actually, Japan is one of the big communities in the world in Asia. But there are many bigger communities in USA or Europe. But in Asia, I think Japan is one of the big groups. So we actually established the Koda Dojo Japan as an official regional body. And then now, from the foundation, we actually registered the Koda Dojo Japan as one of the regional bodies. And then there are six, sorry, five regional bodies in now. And one of them is Japan. So Japan, I actually co-founded Koda Dojo Japan and now running the 100 organizing and encouraging them. So I'd like to share what we are doing now. Well, there isn't what we are talking to here this session. Actually, these are the lines. The first Koda Dojo, actually I explained so far. So let's skip this one. You know what the Koda Dojo is. So actually, let's go into the details. How we grow from zero to 75 plus Dojos. And also, why we continue. Well, if there is no Dojos in Japan, when there is no Dojo in Japan, we actually met the Koda Dojo co-founded James. He actually often traveled around. And he actually, a friend he traveling in Asia, we called him. And then he actually, I talked to him about what you think about Koda Dojo. Why you run the Koda Dojo? And then we actually exchanged the details and share our feelings about the Koda Dojo. And then we actually get inspired by him. And then we actually started running the Koda Dojo Tokyo. This is the first picture of the first small Dojo in Japan in Tokyo. This is, we have James as a guest. And then I actually translated what he said into Japanese. And then share what's happening in the Koda Dojo community in the world. But as you might guess, this is a very, very small start. And it's really difficult to become big immediately. So actually the first Dojo, Open Source Cafe, Koda Dojo Tokyo is like this. There is a cafe which is called Open Source Cafe. And there is a Dojo in a very small group. And then in those days, we have the session for Scratch, which is a visual program in languages. And so actually when the kids start on programming, then the mentors next to kids tell them how to solve or how to start debugging the program. And also there are many tables other than Scratch, like HTML or JavaScript or the Ruby Python or things like that. Well, the point is, okay, let me skip the video. The point is that we did is that every weekend we have a session. So for example, every Sunday we have a session. So this is Sunday. So this afternoon there is a Koda Dojo Tokyo in Open Source Cafe as we saw in the video. So for now in total, Koda Dojo Tokyo has had session this time, many, many times every weekend. And because of that, if you are interested in the Koda Dojo Tokyo or Koda Dojo itself, you can easily drop by and see what happens in the Koda Dojo Tokyo like this. And you see this case, who are getting familiar with programming, that's now focusing on, for example, programming in the Minecraft or programming in the Raspberry Pi or things like that. So because we have a session every Sunday, so people who are interested in Koda Dojo stop by the Koda Dojo in Tokyo or the other Koda Dojo near to them and get inspired. And then like Open Source repository, they are forking the Dojo to their regional area. So this is kind of the visualized of how Koda Dojo is expanding the video provided by Koda Dojo Foundation. So for example, this is the Koda Dojo Kashiwa happens. This is a folk from the Koda Dojo Tokyo. And there is in other countries, Mezoran, for example, the Koda Dojo. And Tokyo, yeah, this is kind of the presentation I did in Tokyo in Japan, speaking about Koda Dojo like today. So like this network, we often share exchanging information on how to be continuously runnable the Koda Dojo in their each region. So that's now, in that background, the Koda Dojo is becoming bigger and bigger in Japan. And right now, almost 70 plus Dojos. So the point is forking the Dojo, the customizing it like we do in the Open Source repository and share like a prerequisite in the Open Source software. The next try we did is the conference, which we call the DojoCon Japan 2016. And this is a picture of the DojoCon actually. Why we did it? Because becoming the getting bigger and bigger in the Koda Dojo, there are many people who don't know, who you don't know. So that's the opportunity for mentors or organizers or kids is really helpful for them to meeting each other and exchanging the information. What do you think? Why do you start the Dojo? Why do you have running the Koda Dojo? This is the big conference, but actually I think this was a very successful one to make the Koda Dojo bigger in Japan. So for example, as I said before, the one of the sessions, for example, I actually asked the reasons why you start. And these two are actually not the adults. They are still students. He started the Koda Dojo when he was a high school student, and he is now a graduate student, but he started the Koda Dojo when he was a university student. So we asked the question and share why they started the Koda Dojo in their region. That's kind of a helpful for the attendees to get inspired and to get motivation for them to start or to help. Also, I think the network itself is really important even in us and also even for kids. So the DojoCon is really a good opportunity for even kids to network over there. So for example, there is a show on tell in each Koda Dojo, but they are less opportunity for share what they created with other Dojo. So that's this kind of conference or meet-up can help for them to network or to share their passions for the programming. So this is kind of the why we DojoCon, and I think that was successful to make a bigger community in Japan. The last slide actually to share here in this presentation is that we actually wrote a book to expand more to let them know about the Koda Dojo, how Koda Dojo works by books, by learning the programming languages for kids. So the book itself is technically not so surprising. It's the typical Scratch book for learning visual programming languages for kids. But the point different from the usual books is that this is composed by the story-based learning. So this Scratch book tells you how to make a programming by using Scratch, visual programming languages, by attending each Dojo virtually in the book. So for example, these are the opportunities, but this one is the organizer of Dojo. So this case, going to Dojo to Dojo to learn Scratch programming from the organizer or mentors in the Koda Dojo. So this means the virtually. And then the first chapter, the second chapter, the kids going to Dojo to Dojo to learn more, to learn shooting game, to learn the complex game, things like that. For example, music game in this chapter. And then finally, we revealed the Koda Dojo itself is not virtually virtual. And there is a Koda Dojo that organizers or mentors in this book, appearing in this book, is actual person in there. So under the rest of the book, we tell that there are many Koda Dojo that we cannot introduce in the book, and then we visit them. That is the kind of, this kind of the tries about doing the conference on the publishing of books and inspiring them by using the same method as the open source community is the way to get bigger in Japan from 25 to 75 plus Dojo is in Japan. Well, the last thing I'd like to share is that I think one of the big important thing is why it works. Why we continue to run? In the software, the computer's contents runs, but because this is the physical community, we need to prepare for the venue or having a session and for example, announcing the Dojo. It, yes, it's, to be honest, it's cost, but they do and they continue. One of the reasons is kind of the, for me, very curious about it. And in my point of view, there is no one simple answer, the one simple reason, but there are many, many various reasons to attend, to mentor, to help mentoring and to start a Dojo. So let me share some of the examples why they started. For example, the dojo members, the organizers and helpers is also the kind of the contributors to the Code of Dojo. For example, she is one of the contributors to Code of Dojo. She is really good at designing and the photographer. So she is now taking a photo or she is helping the web design in the DojoCon Japan website. So she would like to help kind of the, help the Code of Dojo community is runnable for her passion. And the other reasons I found is that IOT, the kind of embedded system, that this is an area of the, the Arduino or Raspberry Pi. These two guys are the professional engineers in the hardware. And for example, he is actually, he's like to his son to enjoy programming with kids in the regional area. So that's he contributed to the Code of Dojo. Also, there are many attendees and collaborators over there. Maybe it's a little bit small. And also, by the way, this is me in the MC. I'm asking the organizers to why you studied. Actually, yeah. Me, I also have a reason to start Code of Dojo and continue to help the Code of Dojo. And for me, it was, when I was a kid, it was really tough to run programming and what to do when I was stuck, when I was a kid. Because there are no such communities when I was a kid. And even these days, the kids have the same feeling but I have when I was a kid. For example, this kid, 10 years old, but he developed and published his web services by using Rubion Race. And he said in his presentation that's by answering the question to how to become like you. And then he answered this. The reason why he improved their skills is that he did these ways to learn more. That is, when you find something interesting, they Google it by web, they Google the keyword by web, search it by books, and then they ask it by Code of Dojo communities. So that's these steps becoming a loop. And then asking by Code of Dojo, he gets a new thing, new something that is interesting to him. And then Google it again and search it by books. And then asking or sharing the lesson-run things with Code of Dojo again. This is kind of the running spiral that is helpful for him to learn more about the programming and computer science. Oh yeah. And another example to me is that and that is surprising to me is the reason, because there are no dojos, he actually posted the Code of Dojo group recently. What he said is he is still a junior high school student, 30 years old, but he would like to attend a Code of Dojo, but there are no Code of Dojo around where they live. So that's why he would like to start a dojo because no dojos around their home. And so he actually calls for the collaborators to run a dojo with him. And then as you see, there are almost 20 shares for his boss. And then we actually finally found the collaborators to start a dojo for him and for kids around the area he is living. Well, there are many, many various reasons to attend, help and organize. So actually I finally would like to share the videos to interviewing the people in the Code of Dojo community. Why do you come to Code of Dojo? Why do you help running the Code of Dojo? And with the translation into English. He said he wants to improve his coding skills. He's attending and make caffeine. His girl, when she wears a hand, you can get help from the man. And as I said before, stack of coding. There are many reasons to attend and this is kind of the videos of the shooting the Code of Dojo in Kashiwa, the prefecture in Chiba. He's an organizer. Ask him why he does that. He's a mentor of the Code of Dojo Kashiwa. Here, he can find new opportunities by touching, by sharing the information, technology with kids. So really, really various reasons I found. She was an attendee, but she now becomes a mentor in the Code of Dojo. Kind of gladdening to an attendee, to the mentor, to have the next generation. He's now stuck in reading the English sentences, but the mentor's tough to read and understand. He just likes to see the smiling face of kids. So that's he started the Code of Dojo in Moria, in Japan. So that he keeps doing the Code of Dojo, running. He's not programmed, not good at coding, but he likes to do it. He's a mentor of the Code of Dojo. He's a mentor of the Code of Dojo. Nagura is calling, but he likes to shoot videos like this. So he's a designer kind of. He would like to have the Code of Dojo by using his design skills. He likes taking photos. So taking a photo of a picture, or movies of the Code of Dojo activities. Then show what happens. Show why they started, why they continue to help. So many programmers in the open source community, so he's like to be a great programmer. He's like to into more about the programming. So this is kind of important thing, I think. So enjoy the Code of Dojo, and then the passion to the next generation. Then it works again and again. That's the kind of one of the concepts and the reasons in the background why Code of Dojo running and continuing in Japan. So in summary, actually I actually strongly encourage them to enjoys to have, enjoys to do, instead of feeling the obligation. So that's the I'd like to share with you in this session. I think there is no time left, so just quickly wrap up. The Code of Dojo is a tech kids open source community for free, for open source, and then strongly encouraging teaching each other, not like classroom from adults to kids in one way, but communicating each other. And then the last thing, but not least is everyone enjoys the Dojo running. If you have a question that just asked me or Google the Code of Dojo, then there are many, many information in English in Japanese as well. So I hope the experiences and knowledges are helpful for building the open source community with kids in your countries, in your regions. Thank you very much. Okay, so there will be, and I think there will be other people running courses that the parents have to pay. Are you competing with them? Actually, we are not allowed to charge kids to attend the Code of Dojo. This is one of the rules to be a Code of Dojo. Yeah, but will they complain or say that all you are taking are business or something like that? We actually are open to the, so Code of Dojo has a very, very few rules. For example, charging a kid, but you can use your lesson round things to, for example, writing a book or doing the business by not using the Code of Dojo. So it's also fine. It's kind of inclusiveness is one of the important things in Code of Dojo. Good, thank you. Okay.
