Show families what their kid built today

From the first lines of code to competition day, ClassDojo gives your program one free place to share photos, schedules, and reminders that families actually see.

“It's really important that we're able to directly communicate in a way that aligns with our mission and vision with our families — and ClassDojo allows us to do that instantly.”

The best part of your program happens where parents can't see it

A robot finally drives straight. A bug takes an hour, then it's gone. With ClassDojo, your instructors and mentors post the photo and the story while it's still happening, and families have it on their phone before pickup.

Emre's been a great helper! He even stayed after today to help clean up.

Frequently asked questions

Is ClassDojo free for our STEM program?

Yes. ClassDojo is free for your program, your staff, and your families. ClassDojo offers optional services directly to families, like ClassDojo Plus and Dojo Tutor, and that's what keeps it free for everyone else. We never sell personal information, and we never share it with advertisers.

Which age groups does ClassDojo work for?

Programs use ClassDojo with every age they serve, from elementary coding clubs through high school robotics teams. Staff choose what each group sees, so the experience fits the kids in the room.

How do our staff get set up?

Instructors and volunteer mentors create an account and set up their group in a few minutes, from a phone. No IT project, and nothing for your program to install on shared lab machines.

How do families join?

Staff share an invite link or code, and families connect from the free app on their phone. Many families already use ClassDojo with their child's school, so there's often nothing new to download at all.

How is our program's data protected?

Your program's information belongs to your program. ClassDojo is COPPA-compliant, never sells personal information, and never shares it with advertisers — see our privacy and security page for the full detail.

Our families already use ClassDojo at school. Do they need anything new?

No. They connect to your program from the same free app they already have, so your updates land right alongside their school's. Nothing new to download, and no second password to remember.

Can we use it for a competition team that travels?

Yes. Post the travel schedule, open sign-up slots for chaperones and drivers, and send updates from the venue so families at home can follow along.
