Code Playground Club
How to get started
Anyone of any coding skill level can set up and run a Barclays Code Playground club without any special training. You can even code along with your club and learn a new skill too.
1: Register your club
Register your club with us through this link to stay informed on the latest Barclays Code Playground updates, including online sessions and complimentary resources.
2. Get your team ready
Make sure you have enough people to run the club. Follow your school's rules for after-school activities, like safety checks.
3. Promote your club
Use our customisable poster (264kb pdf) to promote your club. This poster can be displayed around your school or shared with parents via email.
4. Access the lessons
Access our structured curriculum tailored for your Code Playground club. Then download and present a certificate for each member that joins.
