Computer Programming Courses for Children

Hi

Does anyone know of the above.

Thanks,

[edanna]

Have a look at https://www.codeclub.org.uk There's a postcode search facility and it looks like there's a club at Dulwich Hamlet. There are other similar things but I can't remember the names - try googling coding for kids London or similar.

Codecademy is Excellent. Works up from the absolute basics:

Useful for supplementing any lessons.

Without wanting to spam this forum with a commercial, I provide computer tuition to kids and adults, and run a number of coding clubs and groups.

I actually run the Dulwich Hamlet Code Club, another in Dulwich and a couple elsewhere.

The Code Club website doesn't make clear that these clubs are only open to pupils at the schools, and membership is very limited and heavily oversubscribed.

I can only suggest that you badger your child's school to set up a Code Club of their own.

I'd be happy to set up a local paid-for club if a few parents could commit, and we could get at least one parent to help out with each session.

I spend my weekdays tutoring at schools and youth projects, but would be free to run a club at the weekend. I'm also free after 4.30 on a Thursday and Friday.

I would have to charge, although at a very reasonable rate (equivalent to paid-for after-school clubs): I currently volunteer for about 20 hours a week, and spend a fortune in printing and travel costs!

There are some (rather out-of-date) details on my website:

Good luck in your quest!
