What's Included

VR, Robotics & Game Dev

VR, Robotics & Game Dev

Every session is packed with hands-on tech activities designed to inspire creativity and build real skills. Children rotate through three core disciplines:

  • Virtual Reality — Build and explore immersive 3D worlds using state-of-the-art Meta Quest 3 headsets and our own proprietary VR technology, built in-house from the ground up. Children learn spatial design, logic, and coding concepts while creating their own VR experiences.
  • Robotics — Program real robots to navigate challenges, respond to sensors, and complete missions. A brilliant introduction to engineering and computational thinking.
  • Game Development — Design and code original games from scratch using professional game engines. Children learn programming fundamentals while bringing their ideas to life.

Sessions are structured, age-appropriate, and designed so that every child — from complete beginners to experienced coders — can progress at their own pace.

Equipment

Over £1000 of Equipment Per Child

We provide everything your child needs — no need to bring a thing. Each session, every child has access to:

  • Meta Quest 3 VR headset — State-of-the-art headsets running our proprietary VR technology for immersive coding and design sessions.
  • Laptop — High-spec laptops loaded with all the software needed for game dev, coding, and creative projects.
  • Robot kit — Individual robot kits for hands-on programming and engineering challenges.

That’s over £1,000 worth of tech per child, every single session. All equipment is maintained, updated, and ready to go.

Mentors

5–6:1 Mentor Ratio

Our small group sizes mean your child gets genuine, personalised support every session. With a maximum of 5–6 children per mentor, no one gets left behind.

All of our mentors are:

  • DBS checked — Fully vetted for safeguarding.
  • Trained in tech & youth engagement — They know how to make coding fun, accessible, and rewarding for every age group.
  • Passionate about technology — Many are studying or working in computer science, game design, or engineering.

Whether your child needs a confidence boost or wants to be pushed further, our mentors adapt to every learner.

Online Platform

Online Platform Access

Your child’s learning doesn’t stop when the session ends. Every member gets full access to our Game Dev Academy online platform, packed with:

  • Step-by-step courses — Structured learning paths in Scratch, Python, web development, and more.
  • Project-based challenges — Build real games and apps with guided tutorials designed for young learners.
  • Progress tracking — Children can see their achievements and continue projects between sessions.
  • Safe, moderated environment — A kid-friendly platform built specifically for our members.

Available 24/7 — so your child can keep creating, learning, and experimenting at home.

Minecraft Mod Worlds

Minecraft Mod Worlds

Included for Half Term members and above, Minecraft Mod Worlds combines the game children already love with real coding education.

  • Custom mod creation — Children learn to build their own Minecraft mods using real programming concepts.
  • Multiplayer & companion accounts — Play together with friends and family on our modded worlds.
  • Structured learning — Guided challenges that teach coding logic, problem-solving, and game design through Minecraft.
  • Play & learn at home — Access the worlds and mods from home to keep the fun going between sessions.

It’s Minecraft — but with real skills behind it.

Game Dev

Game Dev & Creativity

Design characters, build worlds and create your own games. No experience needed — just imagination.

Working with Tech

Working with Tech

Play with robots, fly drones and explore virtual reality. Hands-on fun with the tech that's shaping our future.

Building with AI

Building with AI

Discover how AI works and have fun creating with it. A great intro for curious minds of all levels.

Game Dev & Creativity

Whether your child is brand new to coding or already building their own projects, our game dev sessions meet them where they are. They'll start by creating fun games in Scratch and MakeCode, and as their confidence grows, they can explore tools, like Unity.

Every session is built around creative challenges — kids design characters, build worlds and bring their ideas to life. Along the way they pick up real coding skills, logical thinking and problem-solving, all while having a great time.

Working with Tech

Kids love getting hands-on, and our tech sessions give them the chance to play with robots, fly drones and explore virtual reality — no experience needed. Everything is provided, and our mentors guide every step.

From coding Codey & Rocky robots to stepping inside VR worlds, these sessions spark curiosity and show young people what's possible with technology. It's a chance to try things they wouldn't get to at school or at home.

Building with AI

AI is everywhere, and we think kids should understand it — not just use it. Our sessions introduce artificial intelligence in a way that's fun and accessible, whether your child is just curious or already experimenting at home.

They'll experiment with AI chatbots, explore how machine learning works, and start to understand the technology behind the tools they use every day. It's about giving young people the confidence to shape the future, not just be shaped by it.

FAQ

We're here to help!
Every session rotates through three hands-on activities: Game Development (designing and coding their own games), Robotics (programming real robots to complete missions), and Virtual Reality (building immersive 3D worlds using Meta Quest 3 headsets). No two sessions feel the same.,

Coders, Creators & Future Makers

Coding clubs in Ely from age 6 to 14+

Nothing at all. We provide everything — high-spec laptops, Meta Quest 3 VR headsets, and individual robot kits. That's over £1,000 worth of equipment per child, every session.
We have three groups: Code Bugs (ages 6–8), Tech Builders (ages 9–10), and Future Makers (ages 11–16+). Each is tailored to the right level of challenge and creativity for that age group.
Absolutely. We hold the National Autistic Society Autism Inclusion Award and our mentors are specifically trained to support neurodivergent learners. Many of our most enthusiastic members are neurodiverse children who thrive in our patient, structured environment.
Yes! When you sign up for a club, your child automatically gets access to The Code Zone online platform, so the learning doesn't stop when the session ends. They can continue working on their games and projects, pick up new challenges, and get support from our mentors, all from home.
We know it can feel like a big step, especially for younger children or those attending for the first time. While we warmly welcome parents to settle their child in at the start of each session, we do gently encourage you to leave them with our mentors once they're comfortable, children tend to open up, engage more freely, and get far more out of the session when they're working independently with the team.

That said, you know your child best. If you feel it's important to stay, you are absolutely welcome to do so. Just let us know in advance so we can make sure we have space, and our mentors will work with you to make sure your child gets the most from their time with us.
