Celebrate National Coding Week with FutureLearn
National Coding Week is taking place 18-25 September 2017. It aims to bring coding and digital skills to everyone, regardless of their age or experience. As an official partner, we've got lots going on. Whether you want to learn to code from scratch or improve your existing programming skills, get involved.
Join a live coding Q&A with Raspberry Pi
At 13:00 UTC+1 on 18 September 2017, we’ll be running a live coding Q&A on Facebook with the Raspberry Pi Foundation. This UK-based charity provides low-cost, high-performance computers, to help people learn, solve problems and have fun.
Raspberry Pi already offers a range of coding courses on FutureLearn. Educators James and Laura will be on hand to share top tips, answer your questions and chat all things code.
Sign up for the live coding Q&A
Attend a beginners’ coding class at FutureLearn HQ
If you are over 18, live in London and want to learn to code, come along to FutureLearn HQ in Camden at 18:00 on 18 September 2017 for our beginners’ coding class.
Members of the FutureLearn team will take you through an interactive, hands-on session. You’ll get to see the code behind your favourite websites, find out how it can be manipulated, and create your own webpage using HTML and CSS.
