From sharing what you love about Code Club to writing programs to send to space, there are plenty of fun opportunities for your club this month. Explore new projects, celebrate your creators, and help your club shine.
 

Project of the month: Wiggle the snake 

To mark the end of the Year of the Snake, try out Wiggle the snake with your creators. 

This project is part of our new ‘Python wild’ collection, where creators explore wildlife while learning about graphics with Python. Projects from this collection run entirely in our Code Editor, which means learners do not need to switch tabs or use printouts to view the project instructions, helping them stay focused and experiment confidently.
