Looking for a way to bring code to the kids in your community? Whether you're a librarian, educator, parent or someone simply passionate about digital literacy, check out what Code Club Canada has to offer!

A project with Kids Code Jeunesse, Code Club Canada is a network of volunteers and educators who run free, extra-curricular coding clubs for children in local venues in every province across the country. Code Club Canada has over 135 clubs, with projects translated in 28 different languages. These projects give kids between 8 and 12 years old the opportunity to learn programs like Scratch, HTML and Python in a collaborative and creative environment. With resources accessible to anyone, kids can code their animations, create webpages using HTML or use Python to develop their own games. You can access these projects at codeclubprojects.org.
