It's the start of the Winter Olympics 2022, Beijing!
Join us here at The Code Zone for two weeks of cool Winter Olympics coding projects!
We have three new badges available for you to collect - it's hard to imagine anything other than Olympic medals for this. They are available for the next two weeks, so get coding.
To get bronze - collect 10 
For silver - collect 40
And for glorious gold, 75 !
To get loads of stars and XP, complete Hacks in your games and let your mentor know (through the help bubble). If you're unsure how, or what to do, let us know too and we'll get you setup.
For now, enjoy the (un)official Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony!
GO FOR GOLD!
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.
