[Swansea Hackspace] Summer coding course

[David Davies-Day]

Hi Richard,

My 10 year old daughter is showing interest in coding, would be great if we could get them together a couple of times over the summer or arrange something in Hackspace for other kids to attend,  she does better when other are involved/has a little competition.

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: https://arghbox.wordpress.com/2014/04/25/minecraft-pi-recipe-cards/

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,

Richard
