Description
Open to any child aged 6 to 16. There is no referral, no assessment and no waiting list. A diagnosis is not needed. Parents book a free taster session directly. Children need a computer or laptop with an internet connection.
Online only – delivered over the internet, no venue to attend.
Online coding and game development clubs for children aged 6 to 16, plus a self-paced version with no fixed session time.
Children work in small groups with a mentor, building games in Scratch, Roblox, Minecraft and Python. Sessions run over the internet from home, so a child in Somerset can take part with no travel and no busy hall to walk into. Cameras and microphones are always optional and children can type in the chat instead of speaking.
Mentors follow the child’s lead rather than pushing them through a fixed lesson, which suits autistic and ADHD children and children with a demand avoidant profile. We hold the National Autistic Society’s Autism Inclusion Award, and all mentors are DBS checked and safeguarding trained.
Every child starts with a free taster session. Academy is £25 pounds a month, Code Club is £65 pounds a month and Advanced is £85 pounds a month, with 30 days notice to leave.
