Code Camp
Bridging the digital divide
What is a code camp?
We aim to increase exposure and participation in ICT and STEM education in schools and digital literacy in the wider community. Through code camps we encourage engagement by prioritising culturally responsive pedagogy and relevant mentors/guest speakers. We want students to see themselves reflected in the subjects, learning, and industry so they feel it’s a real option for them - whatever their background.
Ensuring the underprivileged thrive in a digital world
Studies have shown that people with ICT and STEM skills are more flexible, creative, and can take advantage of a changing workplace and new jobs. Allowing them to better provide for themselves, their families and their communities.

Its not good to be working on a computer all the time; balance and variety are important! About 70% of activities involve a computer, with lots of that time spent planning, designing and discussing in pairs and teams; its very interactive!
What are some of the activities at Code Camp?
Students learning the basics of coding then work in teams to build websites, apps and games.
Other activities include team challenges such as orienteering, building and racing small cars, programming robots, and other outdoor problem solving and physical challenges. Camps also feature inspiring guest speakers from companies like Google.
The students really enjoy being around other kids with similar interests and making new friends!
