From day 1 (just over 4 years go!) we've regularly asked almost daily "can you do this for grown-ups? it looks so much fun!"...and now, it's coming!
Over the next half a term we're going to be running pilot clubs with grown-ups, and we'd like to hear from you so we can tailor them the best we can...if you can spare a couple minutes, please help us with these questions...

Please help us our with planning these sessions and making them the best possible by completing our survey!
About The Code Zone Academy
Posts like this one are written by the mentors, about what members have been building. The Game Dev Academy has no fixed session time: a new build goes up every week and a child opens it whenever they are ready, with a STEM-certified mentor answering by text and video message when they get stuck.
Children build their own games rather than following a set course, starting in Scratch. Levels move down as readily as up, and staying where you are is a perfectly good outcome. Every mentor is background-checked and STEM-certified.

The blog is in two halves. Guides are the evergreen explainers written by the mentors who teach the clubs, covering the questions parents actually ask: what comes after Scratch, how to support a coding-mad child when you cannot code yourself, and what works for autistic and ADHD children.
Club news is the other half, and it is where posts like this one live: game jams, Minecraft builds and weekly roundups, written up by whoever ran the session. Neither is marketing. If you want to know what the work actually looks like before you sign up to anything, club news is the more honest read of the two.
