Two Clubs. One Creative Coding Adventure!
Welcome to a unique learning experience where young coders aged 8+ get to explore the world of digital creativity on screen and in the real world!
The Story STEAM Coding Club Combo brings together the best of both worlds. Scratch Coding Club and the micro:bit Coding Club - offer a playful, hands-on learning through games, stories and invention.
Scratch Coding Club
Create interactive games, animations and stories using Scratch – a beginner-friendly, coding platform. Each week, we dive into themed coding challenges inspired by imagination, stories, classic computer games and play. It’s ideal for children who love to bring their ideas to life on screen. No experience needed!
🎮 Example themes:
Platformer games · Story adventures · Games · Animations
Micro:bit Coding Club
Take coding off the screen and into your hands with the micro:bit – a pocket-sized computer that lets you code real lights, sensors and sounds! With an outdoor-themed twist in the first block, our projects encourage kids to get curious about the world around them while learning the basics of physical computing.
🌱 Example themes:
Compass directions · Data logger · Nature sensor · Smart badge · Score Counter
