Why You Should Join An Online Coding Club!
Looking for a new after school club? How about a fun new activity for the summer holidays? We've got you covered with our online coding clubs!

Now we might be biased but online coding clubs are pretty cool… But, I hear you ask, why? WELL dear reader let me explain!
Our first major point is that a lot of us are comfortable in our own homes, so why not do a great activity and learn some great skills from our mentors, all without having to brave whatever the British weather is trying to do on any particular day!
Personalised Learning
Maybe you enjoy consistency and building relationships? Our online clubs pair you up with a STEM certified mentor! Allowing you work together to have your needs in the session personalised week on week, and making it easier to learn your way!
Join From Anywhere
Another excellent thing, and a great reason to join, is that because it’s all online you don’t have to be in the same place every week to join a session!
We know, especially with the summer holidays coming up, that you might be out visiting family or going on holiday, but maybe you don’t want to miss a session? Well as long as you have internet, you can get on and get stuck into your sessions, wherever you are!
Have Fun & Learn New Skills
A final reason for you to consider, above all others, is that our online coding clubs are genuinely really great fun, and we all love having fun and learning new skills at the same time.
If you agree or want to see for yourself, sign up and try out one of our free taster sessions!
Who wrote this
We run coding clubs for children aged 6 to 16, so the guides here are written by the mentors who teach them rather than by a marketing team. Live online clubs are open to children anywhere in the UK, and our in-person clubs run across Essex, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Suffolk.
A live club is one hour a week, in a group of no more than six, with the same DBS-checked, STEM-certified mentor.
Children build their own games rather than working through a set course, starting in Scratch or MakeCode and moving to Python and TypeScript when they are ready. More than a third of our members are autistic or have ADHD, based on what parents tell us when they join.
Mentors write a note on every child after every session, which is how we know when somebody is ready to move up a level or would rather stay where they are. Levels move down as readily as up. Nothing is forced, and staying put is a perfectly good outcome.
In 2026 we were ranked second in the UK in Club Hub UK’s Top 100 Children’s Activity Providers, scored by five independent judges on safeguarding, inclusivity and community impact, and in 2025 we received the Autism Inclusion Award from the National Autistic Society. Over 1,000 children are enrolled.

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 an hour actually looks like before you book anything, club news is the more honest read of the two.
The first session is a free taster and we do not ask for card details. Book a free taster session, see what it costs, or read about support for neurodivergent children.
