By learning the basics of coding, young people develop skills that will come in handy later. Stimulated by the possibilities of IT, there are still enormous developments ahead. Developments that also ensure that everyone has to deal with IT to a greater or lesser extent. It is useful to develop skills for this at a young age.

Codeclub Apeldoorn uses playful open source software called Scratch. About 5 modules from the Scratch program are offered in 5 lesson blocks of 1 hour during school hours. The student can continue with the modules y are freely available on the internet.

Experience is not required, you will receive a half-day training beforehand. The teaching material is not difficult. It is important that you have completed at least Scratch 1 yourself prior to the coding lessons.
