Events and training
Develop your skills and confidence through our online and in-person events and training opportunities.
Run a club
Code Clubs empower young people to become creative thinkers and resilient learners. By running a club, you’ll also build your own skills in mentoring, organisation, and of course, coding.

Ready to start?
Start a Code Club by yourself or as a team.
1. Choose your venue
Code Clubs are held in lots of different places, like schools, libraries, office spaces, and community centres.
2. Register your club
Complete your application to start your club. We'll ask for a few details, like the address of your club. We might also ask you to nominate a safeguarding sponsor.
3. Start running
Once your club is verified, take a look at the Code Club leader guide, which includes helpful information for running your club.
Running a club session
We have hundreds of free projects to help you tailor your sessions to your young creators. You can try:
- Group sessions to tackle challenges together
- Themed meetups to highlight important topics
- Learner-led sessions where creators choose their own projects
Planning your sessions is quick and easy — you’ll have access to over 200+ projects available in up to 40 languages.
Helpful resources
We have everything you need to start a club: online training modules, certificates, posters, and much more.
