Overview
Create a space where students can experiment with coding, develop their ideas and grow their confidence as digital creators.
Code Club empowers young people to become creative thinkers and resilient learners. Students can design animations, build websites and create their own games.
You don’t need to be a coding expert to run a club. Free projects, resources and guidance support you in getting started and planning your sessions. You can also develop your own coding, mentoring and organisation skills.
With hundreds of free projects available, students can explore different challenges and take greater ownership of what they create.
You could try:
group sessions where students tackle challenges together
themed meetups exploring particular topics
student-led sessions where young creators choose their own projects
