What are we doing?
This term we are offering several online self-paced sessions:
Scratch:
In conjunction with an international code club world curriculum, and with a code language developed by MIT;
Scratch is designed especially for ages 8 to 16, but is used by people of all ages. Millions of people are creating Scratch projects in a wide variety of settings, including homes, schools, museums, libraries, and community centres.
With Scratch, you can program your own interactive stories, games, and animations — and share your creations with others in the online community.

Code.org
Code.org provides free coding courses that are presented like mini games, often themed around current pop culture, e.g., Star Wars, Minecraft, Angry Birds, Frozen, etc. The courses are block based, but users have the option of viewing the code as JavaScript.

Code Combat
Code combat is a fun way for kids to learn python or java.
Kids must code their way through the game to earn better equipment and solve more difficult puzzles.
