[Swansea Hackspace] Summer coding course

[Leia Fee]

Stuff I've used with my learners in that vein...

https://codecombat.com is a fun gamified thing.

https://scratch.mit.edu/ they'll almost certainly know from school and can
work up some quite complex stuff.

All the https://www.codeclub.org.uk/projects are online - they're designed
as taught sessions but easy to follow independently

https://code.org/learn can be a bit hit and miss which features are working
at any given moment but it good when up as a sort of slightly unstructured
pick-a-mix

Not sure if obsession with Minecraft is still as common as it was but
learning coding as a method of doing fun stuff with that worked well to:

> Hi List,
> With Summer upon us - is there a coding course that would be suitable for
> an 11yr old to learn the basics of coding that you would recommend?
>
> Might be Home based to avoid logistics and travel and should have tests to
> prove success at each stage if poss?
>
> Many thanks in advance,
