2016 has been a fantastic year, running our Coding Workshops all over the UK, teaching primary and secondary school pupils programming skills and working with them on apps and games!

We’re now taking bookings for the Spring term, and we have three fantastic workshops which we can tailor to pupils aged 6-16, including our popular Coding Games Workshop, our BBC micro:bit Workshop (which has been super popular this year, especially with pupils in Years 5, 6, 7, and 8), and our Introduction to Coding entry level workshop. We also run workshops to help teachers get to grips with coding (and teaching coding) too!

If you’d like to discuss booking a workshop, please give us a call on 0845 299 3874, or request a call. You can also book online today using our new online booking system. We offer special discounts when booking more than one workshop, and all workshops include follow-on support and follow-up materials.

micro:bit Workshop

For pupils aged 9 - 16 (Year 5 - Year 11)

Our micro:bit Workshop teaches your class about the micro:bit, making some apps and games with them during the workshop (we bring our own micro:bits too if your school doesn't yet have any!). We’ll introduce them to MakeCode, the coding language that the micro:bit uses, and teach them the fundamentals of coding before we work on some really fun projects! For older students, we can even use Python with the micro:bit!

Coding Games Workshop

For pupils aged 7 - 18 (Year 3 - Year 13)

Led by a real-world game developer, our Coding Games Workshop teaches coding fundamentals with a very practical workshop. Pupils get plenty of hands-on time with code and will create arcade-style games. With over a dozen projects for all age ranges and abilities—including simple "snake-like" arcade games, top-down dungeon crawler games, platformer games, and even online multiplayer games—we will tailor the projects for your school or group.

Introduction to Coding Workshop

For pupils aged 6 - 9 (Year 2 - Year 4)

Our Introduction to Coding workshop is a great way to get pupils started with code. Using visual programming tools, we'll teach the fundamentals behind coding, and the pupils will create their own simple game, adding controls to characters they've designed. They'll even build in a simple scoring system! This is an extremely accessible workshop, suitable for all ages as an introduction to programming. It also helps young pupils develop their computer literacy.
