AFTER SCHOOL CLUBS
| First Coding offers a series of school clubs suitable for years 5 through to 9, covering activities such as game design and 3d printing. Within our Scratch and Python workshops, step-by-step worksheets are developed for each session, helping students create an interesting type of game using Scratch or Python, with the provided workshop sheets. This not only gives a rewarding feeling of completion to students, but also helps to cover the basic fundamentals of programming and coding for younger pupils. And for our 3D printing workshops, in which students learn the fundamentals of 3D design, before learning how to design and print their own 3D keyrings. Some of the schools and organisations we’ve run coding clubs for include: * Andover Homeschooling Group * Bishop Wordsworth’s School * Brougton Primary School * Downton Cubs * Harnham Juniors Primary School * Leehurst Swan * Manor Fields Primary School * Salisbury Homeschooling Group * Salisbury Library Coding Club * West Tytherley Primary School * Winterbourne Earls Primary School To bring First Coding to your school, download our Head Teacher’s letter or email hello@firstcoding.co.uk |

I cannot recommend Jez highly enough. He tutored my son who found his sessions interesting, fun and wanting to learn more.
ALTERNATIVE PROVISION
| We have been running our Alternative Provision program for over three years now and have become one of the leading computing skills provider as part of Right Choice‘s AP program. From game design through to 3d printing and design, these daytime sessions are hosted at a couple of our venues in Salisbury, including a collaboration with The Underground Studios. For all Alternative Provision enquiries, please email hello@theundergroundstudios.co.uk. We believe in tailoring sessions to each participant’s interests and goals. Through open discussion, we establish what activities and approaches will be most engaging and beneficial, ensuring a participant-led learning experience. >> Location details and map << |
