Code Club’s Journey
Founded 2012 by Linda Sandvik and Clare Sutcliffe “we share a belief that it is essential that children are introduced to coding at an early age and shown how much fun it can be”
Why is coding important?
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”
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.”
