Code Club is a nationwide network of free after-school coding clubs in the UK for children aged 9-11 led by volunteers. It was co-founded in 2012 to address issues identified in a 2011 report that the UK education system was failing to produce enough talent for the growing video game and visual effects industries. Code Club uses Scratch, HTML/CSS, and Python in its curriculum over four terms to teach basic programming and coding skills to children in a fun and engaging way.
