An Introduction to Code Club
summary
Volunteer-led after-school clubs teach 9–11 year olds to code with step-by-step worksheets that move from Scratch to HTML and CSS to Python; examples include a whack‑a‑witch Scratch game plus built‑in challenges to make sprites disappear or speed up. Launched with 120 clubs, growth runs ~100 new clubs per month to ~1,300 total, with 40% girls; goal is 25% of UK primary schools by 2015. Volunteers provide venue, support and bug‑testing while kids build independent projects and leave with a working game.
