Welcome @SamanthaBrett. Anyone can run a Code Club and I hope the course can support you to feel a bit more confident!
If you'd like to chat about about any worries you have around getting started, you can always come speak to the team online at an upcoming coffee and conversation call: https://codeclub.org/en/events

That's amazing @RachelHuerta, I hope Code Club works well for you and you can get your club set up asap!

Don't worry @MelithaDumbu-Udeh, Python is a bit more complicated than Scratch and it can take a while to get used to if you're new to coding! If you want to start using Python at your club, our Python 101 course can help you build your skills and confidence https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/programming-101

Kat Leadbetter replied to Hannah Walz
Hi @HannahWalz whilst our projects our aimed at ages 9-13, you can use them with younger children based on your own judgement - quite a few Code Clubs do support 7 or 8 year olds, but potentially only work through Scratch, or give them more time per project. If you think they will find them too challenging, you might want to instead try using something like...

Hi @RudinaBND whilst our projects our aimed at ages 9-13, you can use them with younger children based on your own judgement. If you think they will find them too challenging, you might want to instead try using something like Scratch Junior, which is a very simple introduction to coding.

So glad to hear you enjoyed it @AlokKumarPadhan, and best of luck with your club!

@AlokKumarPadhan Once you'e registered your club you'll be able to access our projects via the project site, and all the club resources (posters, certificates etc) on the resource page of your club dashboard

Absolutely @AlokKumarPadhan. It's important to recognise the hard work and effort young people put in to learning, as well as the successes or projects they manage to complete.

@ADITYAKUMARBHATRA It's great that you're looking to develop your understanding more widely, but it's important to remember you don't have to be an expert in order to use these languages or software in your club. Each project is designed to walk you through step by step and you can learn alongside your club. As long as you've worked through the project ahead...

Kat Leadbetter replied to Raymond Fong
I think you've hit the nail on the head here @RaymondFong - whilst it has some advantages, BYOD can stop young people who don't have access to hardware at home, or don't have a device they can bring with them, from participating. You could consider giving it as an option in your club for those who want to do it, in addition to having available hardware at your...
