Code Club
Code Club is a nationwide network of free volunteer-led after-school coding clubs for children aged 9-11.
We create projects for our volunteers to teach at after school coding clubs. The projects we make teach children how to programme by showing them how to make computer games, animations and websites. Our volunteers go to their local primary school for an hour a week and teach one project a week.
We’d like to put a Code Club in every single primary school in the country. There are over 21,000 primary schools in the UK, it’s a big task but we think we can do it!
Use this community area to share activities, share ideas, to ask questions and to keep in touch with Code Club developments in across the country.

Hi, I am interested in setting up a club in my sons school and I think the headteacher will be very willing as she is very passinate about STEM. The only issue i suspect is whether it is an open club for external children or whether it can be closed for just the students within the school. Are the clubs able to be closed with just students from the school attending?
Thank you...
0 Hello everyone,
I am the Children's Librarian for the City of London libraries. We are trying to set up a code club at our Artizan Street Library, which is just down the road from Aldgate Underground station. So far we haven't had any luck finding volunteers to run our club. We have been working our way down the list of volunteers available on the Code Club UK website but so far...
Hi all,
I'm looking to help out at an existing club in Oxfordshire - I can code a little HTML and CSS and looking to improve greatly over the course of the next 6 months. However, I'm completely new to scratch. Might anyone like some assistance with one of their existing classes?
Best,
Jason
In partnership with the United States, Russia, Japan and Canada, Europe is sharing in the greatest international project of all time - the International Space Station. The ISS has enough room for its crew of six persons and a vast array of scientific experiments. It’s a lab and a home… in space!

Does anyone know of any camps or coding clubs running during the Easter holidays in east London? I"m looking for something for my 8 year old son who wants to learn to code.
thanks!
At present the group is just starting Level 4 scratch and I have given them a folder each so they have all the material they need and also a simple software design document for them to follow. Which includes space for them to add flowcharts and pictures of what they plan to do. Some of the group might struggle, but hopefully they will all manage to get something from it. I was wondering what...
There is a kid (10 years old) in my club for whom I will soon be running out of Code Club material. He already knew Scratch, and already had a number of projects on the Scratch web site when he joined the club at the start of term; as such he has been finding the Code Club Scratch projects too easy. I started him on Python two weeks ago, last week he completed the Python turtles project...
Just to say a big thank you to everyone concerned with organising the York Raspberry Jam at the National Stem Centre. It was so much more than a get-together for Raspberry Pi enthusiasts. We brought our 5 1/2 year old granddaughter and crossed our fingers that she would fit in. She really enjoyed it and stayed until lunchtime. I stayed on in the afternoon to do some workshops and...
Does anyone know where I can find the resources folder for fruit machine please? I tried the 'download project materials' link but the resources folder isn't coming up and I need it for the background, costumes and sounds.
Thanks, Wendy
Does anyone know where the latest STEM Ambassador Insurance document resides? The pdf that I have is way out of date, and I think I should fish up a new one.
Short and sweet. For a change. :)
Kind regards,
Geoff
