Code Club Curriculum

What do children learn? 83% of teachers leading clubs felt that learning to code had impacted on children’s progress in other subjects. “They have learnt to test and work to solve problems and not to just accept that there is only one way to achieve something.” “There has been a marked difference in the way the Code Club members approach problem solving; a more analytical approach and a way of seeing mistakes or errors as part of the process of learning.”

What do our volunteers think? “teaching at my Code Club is the more rewarding part of my week” “Getting feedback on how much the kids enjoy the club and seeing the creative spark - its worth every minute” “I enjoy being part of the solution of teaching computing in schools”
