7 Steps to Start a Coding Club at Your School

1. Discuss

Talk to the tech savvy students and find out if any students
are already learning programming. Have a meeting with these students and
see which programs they could help you use to teach others.

2. Introduce

Run a few lunchtime introductory sessions, in which you:

• Watch and discuss the code.org promotional video.
• Complete the Hour of Code Angry Birds and Flappy Bird Lessons.

3. Environment

Choose the learning environment that suits your school and students.

4. Time

Give time for exploration and creativity.

5. Share

Share resources that will help students create with the program.

6. Challenge

Set some challenges to solve with the program.

7. Expand

Have students share what they are creating and run sessions in which they teach others.
