This club will be led by some
experienced volunteers from Jade
Software. Code Club Aotearoa’s
vision is to grow a network of
volunteer-led coding clubs around the
country. It is anticipating 10,000
students engaged every week in
FREE after-school Code Clubs,
teaching them the basics of computer
programming, software design, and
stretching their imaginations with the
endless possibilities. Selwyn House
has joined them to help support this
goal and break down the perception
that coding is only for boys. Email
[email protected] to be
put on the waiting list for Term 3.
Equipment
is supplied.
