Build games, and learn to code!

Join the Game Dev Club and work with mentors to develop your coding skills, building games at a level suitable to you.

No matter if you are new to code, have had a play with it in the past or consider yourself an expert, The Code Zone has a code club for you to join.

We wanted to create something that busts the myth that coding is "hard" and "technical". Our weekly sessions will open up a new world of opportunity for you, and even maybe a path into a shiny new career.

Bringing our online coding
clubs to the grown-ups!

The best way to learn is by having fun!

Beginner

Develop a solid grounding in code

At this level you will be using Scratch to "Hack" games that we have built, working with a mentor and making games your own

Intermediate

Move on from blocks to written code

As a Game Dev Modder you will move on from coding in blocks, to coding in Python, building and modding your own games!

Advanced

Longer sessions, more depth, still fun

As a Game Dev Architect you will move on from Python to Typescript, learn some Object Oriented code, and build a game over many weeks getting deep in to the code

The best way to learn to code!

Fully supported by our online mentors - the perfect club for all levels of coder!

Learning to code can be dry and hard to engage with. Our game dev club is designed to unleash the coding creativity in you by using your love of gaming and developing skills for life!
