Congresbury Youth Partnership – Code Club
Congresbury Youth Partnership run a Code Club for young people aged 8 to 16 on Mondays in term time from 3.30pm to 5.30pm. Would be coders can drop in at any time after their school day finishes, and get involved with projects using SCRATCH and PYTHON coding languages and simple electronics.
These sessions are not like school; they are full of fun, hands on and providing very practical skills.
Interest from adult volunteers with any basic IT skills who could support young people would be very welcome. We would especially like to hear from young people looking for Duke of Edinburgh scheme placements meeting criteria for volunteering or skills units. Contact us at congresburycodeclub@gmail.com, or drop in to Congresbury Youth Club during Monday sessions.
