Children aged 4 to 17 years old can learn new digital skills and harness their creativity by working on fun activities alongside a volunteer.

Art and craft activities help to encourage children’s imagination and creativity while improving their manual dexterity. They also help instil a sense of achievement and pride in their work.

This club is for children aged 4 to 11 years old.

Any child below the age of 7 must be accompanied by an adult.

Coderdojos

Dojos are fun spaces where children and teens can get together to learn cool new skills such as creating animations, phone apps or websites. Both Code Clubs and Coderdojos are part of Raspberry Pi community with access to support from the team, learning resources, and various online training opportunities.

The coderdojos activity is available for young people aged 7 to 17 years old.

Code club and digital dens

At the code club children will be able to experiment with some of the latest technology to learn about coding, programming, building computers and robots. This supplements what they are taught at school, as these are all part of the curriculum. The clubs will be a mix of lessons and free sessions to encourage learning and creativity.

The code club is available for children aged 8 to 11 years old.

Lego club

Lego clubs are great for stimulating creative thinking and encouraging joint problem solving. Working in a group, children are able to build relationships and develop social communication skills.

The Lego club is for children from 5 years old and up, but those under 7 need to be accompanied by an adult.
