The event is a weekly club, lead by the children who attend. The goal is to allow them to develop their passion and skills in computing, particularly coding, beyond what they learn in the classroom. Activities include, completing iDEA badges, coding with micro:bits, coding SPIKE Lego robots, python coding challenges, hour of code challenges. The target group is KS3 students.

KS1 and KS2 Coding club
Mon, Aug 12, 2024 3:30 PM
We aim to inspire enthusiastic learners with an interest in coding to participate in a weekly coding club.
We aim to particularly focus on encouraging military children to join the clubs and be involved in a range of activities using both unplugged and physical resources.
The children will showcase their work to parents and the school community by creating and coding games for family and friends to play.
Coding Holiday Activity
Thu, Oct 31, 2024 10:30 AM
Introduction to coding for young people, to build digital coding skills and confidence. We will focus on using make code and BBC Micro:bits in this session, but will collaborate with the young people to creatively shape the theme of the session ensure the topic is relevant and interesting.
We hope to be able to buy the young people a micro:bit each to send home so they can continue to work on their coding skills.
The goal is to build the young people's understanding and confidence, with the aim to enable them to code in their own time.
This target group are part of an ongoing partnership, the community group work with families from minority communities specifically, providing holiday activities for children and young people.
We are working with Oxford Community Action community group who are partnering with us to provide holiday activities.
This event will build on previous interactions and become part of a longer programme to build confidence and gain digital skills and experience. In previous sessions we identified a gap in the young people's coding experience and a desire to learn from both the young people and their families.
We aim to collaborate on the theme with the young people and community leaders, potential themes could include: climate change education, Computer Aided Design, 3D printing of micro:bit accessories this will be decided before the session takes place.
Coding Club
Thu, Oct 10, 2024 3:00 PM
Event Description:
Our Coding Club will provide students with an engaging and hands-on introduction to programming using mBot, Microbit, and Python. This club is designed to foster a love for coding and technology by allowing students to see the immediate results of their programming efforts through interactive projects.
Content and Methods:
MBot Programming: Students will learn to program mBot robots using block-based coding. They'll explore basic robotics concepts, including movement, sensors, and simple algorithms.
Microbit
Programming: Participants will delve into Micro
projects, learning to program the small, versatile microcontroller to perform various tasks such as displaying messages, creating games, and using sensors.
Python Programming: As students become more comfortable with coding, they'll transition to Python, a powerful yet accessible text-based programming language. Projects will include creating simple games, automating tasks, and exploring data analysis.
Methods and Resources:
Hands-on Projects: Each session will involve practical projects where students can apply their learning immediately.
Interactive Tutorials: Step-by-step tutorials and guided exercises will help students grasp new concepts.
Collaboration and Problem-Solving: Students will work together on projects, fostering teamwork and collaborative problem-solving skills.
Online Resources: Access to online coding platforms and resources will be provided for practice outside of club hours.
Goals of the Event:
To introduce students to the basics of programming and robotics.
To develop problem-solving and logical thinking skills.
To inspire a long-term interest in technology and STEM fields.
To provide a supportive and collaborative learning environment.
Target Group:
The event is aimed at students aged 13-14(Y9) with little coding experience. We particularly encourage those who are curious about technology and to boost intake for GCSE computer Science
What Makes This Event Special:
Hands-On Learning: Students will see their code come to life through interactive and tangible projects.
Progressive Learning Path: Starting with block-based coding and advancing to text-based Python programming ensures accessibility and growth.
Supportive Environment: The club is designed to be inclusive and supportive, with a focus on fostering confidence and creativity in each participant.
Schedule: The specific day and time will be determined based on the instructor's timetable.
