Computer coding is complex. From multiple languages to multiple uses, there is no single way to code … so we don’t believe there is any single way to teach coding. Our aim is to introduce and expose students to some of the basic principles of programming. We don’t teach any one language or program but draw on a number to illustrate and practise coding techniques.

Our tutors work to help kids understand the processes involved, and give them the knowledge and confidence to tackle and solve the coding challenges they face. We also encourage students to continue their exploration away from the class, whether working on things we’ve given them or their own coding projects.

Thanks to everyone who popped by our demo session at St Heliers School on Monday afternoon. It was great to see so many of you there.

Hopefully, we answered your questions and we look forward to starting our coding classes at the school in the New Year.

We’re currently working on our courses for 2018.

After a successful first year, we will be offering more classes at more schools in 2018. Watch this space to find out more.

If you’d like further information or have a suggestion for where we could host our courses, please feel free to get in touch, info@codechampions.nz 

Term 4 kicked off last week and some great coding was soon underway.

There are eight classes this term and we’re looking forward to the weeks ahead.

Plans are also in motion for 2018. If you’re interested in finding out more for next year, left us know: info@codechampions.nz

We’re underway in Term 3! 

It was good to kick-off the term with our first coding sessions this week. There are seven lessons running and great to see more than 50 young coders getting involved.

Keep up the excellent work.

That’s another term over. Great coding everyone. We’ve been impressed with everyone’s efforts during Term 2.

We’re putting together our schedule for Term 3. We’ve contacted all existing students. If you’d like to know about joining us next term, just get in touch with Greg at info@codechampions.co.nz

Well done to the Wednesday and Thursday groups at Saint Kentigern Boys’. Excellent work and great coding.

Here’s some action from the Thursday team:

Well done to all the students who completed yesterday’s session – our very first! You really got stuck in and wrote your first code.

Don’t forget to do your homework and we’ll see you all next week.

Locked and loaded. Devices all ready for the first Code Champions session this afternoon.
