Set up by parents and self-professed geeks Paul and Ashley in 2019, The Code Zone runs exciting online and in-person clubs introducing young people to the diverse, fun world of coding.
The origins of
The Code Zone
Childish individuals with an immature sense of humour - the kids in the club are great too
The Code Zone Mentors!
Our mentors are at the centre of everything. All of our mentors are employed (not freelance) and undergo intense training on our philosophy, content and clubs before they start running their own clubs. We also have a CPD programme to keep pushing the boundaries of tech and coding with the children.
Each mentor bring something new to our coding clubs, so we regularly peer review and pick out amazing things that other mentors do so sessions are kept fresh and to an unbelievably high standard. This is such a key part of what we do, and what makes our mentors actually amazing.
