Tips for coding along at home

We will be working on a different project every week, which we will share on Twitter ahead of the session; make sure you’re following @kidscoding and @codeclubcanada!

Parents are encouraged to sit in and learn with their child and monitor for appropriate online interaction.

How do I take part in the webinar?

We are using the video conference tool Zoom. Here’s how to set it up ahead of the sessions (don’t worry - you only have to do this once!)

1. Create a Zoom account for free here.
2. Check your email for the confirmation link, and click it.
3. Set up your account.
4. Once you’ve set up your account, download Zoom from here.
   You can use Zoom in your web browser, but we recommend downloading the program for better quality webinars.
5. Great - now you’re all set up! When you click to Join your webinar, make sure you select the option to “Open in Zoom”.

Code Club volunteers are warmly welcomed to join us on Zoom to help facilitate sessions and answer kids’ questions, just use the links above.

We hope these fun, online hangouts help to continue nourishing Canadian coding communities and create a sense of normalcy and wonder in these uncertain times.

Many kids want to continue coding after a Code Club session, so here we’ve prepared a list of further activities to keep learning and having fun.

• Code Create Play - Online Sessions and Series
• Sign up for KCJ’s newsletter, where we will provide weekly updates of activities for you and your kids
• Our Code Club Projects and Resources pages offer plenty of activities for kids and caregivers to do together, at their own pace. Broken down into simple steps, these projects are accessible for all levels, even coding newbies.
• micro:bits are one of our favourite tools to teach coding. These mini-computers can do almost anything! Check out our micro:bit tutorial series on YouTube and start creating. Or, if you’re feeling competitive, you can try to get a high score in one of our micro:bit arcade games: Valentine’s Day or Pong! Don’t have a micro:bit at home? Don’t worry - you can still brush up on your coding skills using the free micro:bit emulator.
• Get #AlgoLit with The Algorithm Literacy Project, an effort by KCJ and CCUNESCO to demystify the world behind our computer screens and to help kids be responsible digital citizens. We all interact with algorithms every day, but most of us don’t understand what they are or how they impact our lives. Kids and care-givers can learn together through an educational video and accompanying activities.

These webinars will take place in a publicly-accessible hangout and KCJ does not assume responsibility for sharing of names made visible from Zoom. By providing the link to their child, parents assume responsibility for the usual risks associated with their child’s visibility online.
