Projects

The Code Club projects are step-by-step guides for children to follow and create animations, games, websites and much more.

Children build up programming skills as they move through the projects in their club

  • Projects introduce key programming concepts

  • Step by step instructions

  • Children create something different and original with each project

  • Challenge-based learning

Projects overview piture

Code Club projects are freely available to anyone to start getting creative with code, but let us know if you use them!

If you're using these projects, it is essential you let us know. This way we can keep track of our impact in Canada and internationally, and hence continue receiving funds to develop more free content for all! In addition, We have lots of benefits available to registered Code Clubs including special offers and invitations to free training sessions.

Skills Map

Each of our projects teaches a different programming skill and children build on the skills they have learned as they complete the projects in order. The handy table below explains which skills each of the projects covers for each programming language.

Scratch

Scratch is a graphical programming language, developed by the Lifelong Kindergarten group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Children can drag and combine code blocks to make a range of programs, including animations, stories, musical instruments and games. It’s a bit like the programming equivalent of Lego!
