Inspiration for every Code Club

For some Code Clubs, August means welcoming new creators. For others, it's a chance to try a different project for the first time.

Wherever your club is on its journey, we've picked out a few ideas to help inspire your next session — from a creative web project to a brilliant story about Harry, one of our youth mentors in the UK.

🌍 Around the community

In July, we loved seeing...

Try this project: Flip treat webcards

From biscuits to baklava, mochi to maple syrup treats, every community has a favourite sweet snack. 

In ‘Flip treat webcards’, creators design an interactive flip card inspired by their favourite sweet treat. It's a fun way to introduce HTML and CSS while encouraging everyone to personalise their project. You might even discover a few new desserts from around the world!

Growing future mentors

Every Code Club starts with a mentor, but sometimes those mentors are young people themselves.

Harry began as a Code Club creator and is now giving back as a youth mentor, helping younger members build confidence while developing leadership skills of his own.

His story is a wonderful reminder that today's creators can become tomorrow's mentors.
