Live Coding Events and Hack Battles

Get stuck in!

We’ll be hosting a number of regular ‘live’ events, which are a great way to get users involved on more ambitious, larger scale projects, as well as facilitating collaboration through our social sharing space and lobby chat areas.

They may run for a day, a week, or even a month or two, and include things like:

After-School Hangout

Running 3-7pm Monday-Friday, users can join their friends for some after-school fun!

Every Monday, we release a new Mini Code-It Challenge to try. Once started, it appears with the rest of their projects, and users are free to go back and tinker with it whenever they like!

Just like our in-person clubs, the After-School Hangout is split into age groups, so your children are be able to interact with other like-minded users; sharing projects and bonding through our chat function.

As always, our Zone Leaders are on hand throughout the event to moderate the chat function or to offer help should anyone need it!

Build Battles

At the end of each month, we run a fun Build Battle that users have the option to train for in the weeks running up.

It's a brilliant way for users to get stuck into our community, and really put their new skills to the test!

Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for our themed events too, just take a look at the one we ran for Halloween this year!
