It’s back! The week-long coding event for keen young programmers and developers returns to The National Museum of Computing on Bletchley Park this year.

The young coders join up into teams and each team decides on a project to build during the week - then builds it! There are mentors on hand to help with planning or help to guide the team through unsticking any sticky bits, but for the most part it’s the young people’s own work.

On the Friday afternoon it's Demo Day, each team presents their project to the others and to parents and staff from the museum.

Who’s it for?

Young coders aged 12-19 who are desperate to spend a whole week coding with others! Ability is not a factor; good basic computer skills, a basic understanding of some form of coding, a desire to learn and work hard for the week to produce a great project is all that’s required. Oh, and you HAVE to have your own laptop :)

Permission from your parent or carer is required.

Practical details

The Week of Code runs from August 12 to August 16 2019, from 10am to 5pm each day (Except Friday, when we have "demo day" at 2pm and finish at 4pm). Supporting The National Museum of Computing’s STEM Summer Bytes Festival. (Ask at reception or follow the signs when you arrive. )

Attendees MUST bring their own laptop, tablet phone or other devices, power adaptors, a packed lunch and anything else they need for the day.
