Coding Club
Code Camp facilitates two eight session lunchtime Coding Clubs each term for Years 2 to 6 students. The sessions are facilitated by Code Camp tutors and run on Tuesday and Thursday from 1.30pm to 2.30pm (lunchtime) in the School Hall.
Code Camp allows kids to hone their coding skills and keep practising through weekly sessions over the term! Students will produce multiple games and apps using our exciting online platform Code Camp World! We have made Code Camp World as accessible as possible so students can truly focus on the fun aspects of coding and carry on their journey at home. Each week students will choose the features they want to build, and advance their problem-solving skills to build these features using code. They will take ownership over their projects and collaborate with their peers to make awesome apps!
The two eight session lunchtime Coding Clubs in Term 1 are:
- TUESDAY (3 February to 31 March) - SECURE YOUR SPOT
- THURSDAY (5 February to 2 April) - SECURE YOUR SPOT
There are limited spots for these classes. Register today!
