Principality Coding Club
Xplore! is hosting three Coding Club sessions in their Henblas Street Centre this month. Principality Building Society funds the activities. It allows attendees to get stuck into a range of coding and look at movement, sensing, gameplay, design, and how coding interacts with the real world.
The clubs are for 9 to 12 year olds, adults can stay and join in if they wish. The ticket includes everything you need to have a go, plus a snack and a drink.
The sessions will be held as after-school clubs running on Wednesday afternoons 4-5.30pm on the 13th, 20th and 27th of September. Due to funding, they can run the sessions at a hugely discounted price of ￡5 per child. Spaces are limited and booking is essential so sign your child up today for some coding fun.
