Code Club
Education Administration Programs
A global network of free coding clubs for 9–13 year olds
About us
At Code Club, we think all children should have the opportunity to learn to code, no matter who they are or where they come from. We work with a global community of volunteers, educators, and partners to run free coding clubs where 9 to 13-year-olds build and share their ideas. We believe in learning through making, and our coding projects offer young people plenty of opportunities to be creative and to share their creations with each other. Code Club is part of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, a UK-based charity. Our projects are free and open to all. They are easy-to-follow, step-by-step guides that young people use to make their own games, animations, and websites with coding languages such as Scratch, HTML/CSS, and Python. The projects introduce coding concepts one by one and let young people progressively build their knowledge. Adults running the clubs don’t need to be experienced coders, and many volunteers in our community enjoy learning alongside their club members. We provide help and support to clubs and volunteers through online training, community events, and a help desk. We also offer lots of additional useful resources, such as downloadable certificates and posters, and we regularly run competitions and prize draws to keep our clubs inspired and connected.

Community Partnerships Coordinator for Raspberry Pi | Founder and Business Manager of Cambridgeshire Board Game Clubs
Yesterday I had my first community visit to St Paul's C of E Primary School's Code Club, just 5 minutes down the road from Raspberry Pi Foundation's HQ. What amazed me about St Paul's Primary school was how every young person there was excited, and inspired to make something. I had some great conversations with the volunteers who were either parents or passionate coders about how this space allows these children (Years 2-6), to experiment, try things, and be creative without fear of failure. They can do as much or as little as they want, and once they found out I was from "the place that makes all the projects on the website", they all were eager to show off all of the projects they had made throughout the year. We talked about the Coolest Projects Showcase, (which they promised they will submit for!), what events were happening in the community so they can continue learning and meet more likeminded individuals, and a school visit to our HQ in the new academic year. All of this possible thanks to their code club leader, Sarah Abrey, who was just full of fun, vigor, and saw the opportunities for these children in providing a creative space where young people can experiment and try new things with their friends. And that is Code Club.
