Coding for Kids, aged 6 to 16
Coding is for everyone!
The Code Zone runs award-winning coding clubs for children aged 6-16, online and in-person, where kids learn to code in Scratch & Python. They design and build their own games, growing real creativity, confidence and problem-solving with patient mentors, in a safe space where every child can be themselves.
Coding is for everyone!
Supporting every learner it's kind of our thing
We hold the National Autistic Society’s Autism Inclusion Award, and a large share of our members are neurodivergent. Our mentors are trained to create an inclusive, patient environment where children with ADHD, autism, anxiety, or diverse learning needs truly thrive.
Tailored to every level
Children learn to code in Scratch & Python as they design and build their own games, growing creativity, confidence and problem-solving along the way.
Run by amazing mentors
Patient, kind, and understanding support from DBS checked, STEM-Certified Mentors. The same person every week, who remembers what your child made last time.
A platform built for kids
Our own integrated, entertaining online platform: a new featured game to build and hack every week, so there is always something they have not made yet.
