It’s 2024. Start a coding club for kids.
You can start a coding club at your school today. Here are some of my ideas for getting started.
Children meet and learn about robots
Students, parents and teachers from Bulimba State School visited the ARC Centre of Excellence for Robotic Vision (The Centre) at QUT, Gardens Point Campus. The Centre is the world’s first centre that focuses on creating robots that can see.
Term 1 starts tomorrow
Term 4 starts tomorrow and we want to send a big thank you to all the schools, libraries and organisations that we have worked with us this year. The Coding Kids team is looking forward to finishing the year off with a bang.
Want extra ideas for your coding clubs?
Here are some of the activities we do at our Coding Kids clubs: program with Scratch, program with Python, program mBot, program Lego Mindstorms EV3, and build digital solutions with Makey Makey.
Programming Pepper, the friendly humanoid robot
This week at the Pepper Studio, in Brisbane, we held a 5 day Pepper workshop. In this workshop, the kids learned how to use Choregraphe software to create programs for Pepper with both drag and drop code and python.
Coding & robotics for Queensland librarians
Coding Kids visited Cooroy Library and Gympie Library to share our knowledge on coding, robotics and IT with Queensland librarians. Council libraries around Queensland are enthusiastic and committed to sharing coding, robotics and IT skills and projects with their local community.
MicroMakers Hackathon Day
The MicroMakers II Hackathon Day concluded the six-week program at Bulimba State School. Technologies that were used included: Scratch, MaKey MaKey, mBot, Tinkercad and 3D printing. Find out about the interesting projects that the students developed.
Free holiday tech events for kids
Engage children with fun tech activities where they can learn about how technology can be used as a tool to create fun games, helpful robots and innovate, with the potential of making an impact to our community.
We’re hiring
We’re hiring. Join our vibrant Coding Kids team and support development of the next generation of coders.
Will your job be replaced by AI?
AI or artificial intelligence is being developed to replace or assist jobs that are currently being done by humans. Here are a few of the AI systems that are starting to replace human jobs.
