Code Club

The aim of Code Club is to inspire the next generation to get excited about computer science and digital making.

To do this, they support a nationwide network of volunteers public libraries and educators who run free coding clubs for children to build and share their ideas, learning along the way.

Library staff and our Code Club volunteers will help you learn to make games, animations and websites, using the Code Club resources.

The easy to follow step-by-step guides help you learn Scratch, HTML & CSS and Python. These projects gradually introduce coding concepts to allow you to build your knowledge incrementally.

Children leave Code Club with a set of skills, that will be useful to them in their future hobbies, schooling or career including:

• Programming and computational thinking
  
• Problem solving and communication
  
• Collaboration and sharing
  
• Planning and designing
  
• Reflecting and improving
  

Code Clubs are also lots of fun!
