At Code for Life, we want everybody to have the opportunity to learn to code, and in order to do that we want our club ambassadors to create a supportive environment for everyone to learn. It is more than learning to code, it is about building confidence and collaboration. This course aims to introduce primary-aged children to coding skills using a block-based programming language. We have condensed the existing teaching materials into six lessons, with two additional lessons for extension and have included lesson plans and activities. The purpose of this course is to give primary learners an introduction to Python in both block programming and text-based forms and to discuss how new concepts can be introduced to pupils. Rapid Router covers many aspects of the KS1 - KS3 National Curriculum for Computing. You can find out more here. The course includes level completion activities, demonstrations and some videos. Times are approximate and we suggest you adjust these resources to make it work for you and your club. You might wish to move on to the next session if pupils finish quickly. We have provided two additional sessions to build in some extension and leeway. Lesson plans can be found here: https://code-for-life.gitbook.io/code-club-resources/

At Code for Life, we want everybody to have the opportunity to learn to code, and in order to do that we want our teachers and club ambassadors to create a supportive environment for everyone to learn. It is more than learning to code, it is about building confidence and collaboration. This course suggests how our successful Python Den resources can be separated out into three clubs; Grass snakes, Tiger snakes and Cobra club. The lessons are supported by videos and worksheets and editable certificates are also provided for all of our clubs. The purpose of this course is to give teen and adult learners an introduction to Python in both block programming and text-based forms and to discuss how new concepts can be introduced to pupils.
