Paignton Library Code Club

Code Club, is an opportunity for all children 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.

The projects introduce coding concepts one by one and let young people progressively build their knowledge and is run with the Raspberry Pi foundation charity.
