Oakham Code & Create Holiday Clubs
Join us during school half-terms and holidays for educational and teacher-led coding, robotics and engineering projects. Each holiday will have unique and engaging projects and tasks for kids to get hands on with, all while making friends with like-minded children! Our class sizes are small, which allows us to develop good relationships with the children who attend our camps, as well as allowing us to help them create and code their own games and robots!
Activities Include:
Game design and coding
Children attending our Oakham holiday club will get the opportunity to design and code games using platforms such as Scratch, Delightex, p5.js and Trinket! Kids will be guided by the teacher to build a base game, and then supported to extend their game to be entirely unique to them.
Programming Robots
Kids attending our Oakham holiday clubs will get the chance to build and program their own robots from scratch. Teachers will help and assist children to develop their own robotics using simple instructions. Kids with advanced skills will get the chance to design their own robots too!
3D printing and modelling
Kids who come to our Oakham holiday camps will get the chance to 3D print their own design using TinkerCAD! This is a firm favourite activity with our students, and kids get to take home what they have created at the end of the day!
