<div>Hi Richard,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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. </div>

<div>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: <a href="https://arghbox.wordpress.com/2014/04/25/minecraft-pi-recipe-cards/">https://arghbox.wordpress.com/2014/04/25/minecraft-pi-recipe-cards/</a></div>

<div>Hi List,
<div>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?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Might be Home based to avoid logistics and travel and should have tests to prove success at each stage if poss?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Many thanks in advance,</div>
