The Code Zone: Coding Robots and Games

Get hands-on coding and game-making experience with The Code Zone. Whether you're a pro programmer or you don't know your bugs from your booleans, join us when we bring our coding club to Norwich Games Festival.

Step into the immersive world of augmented reality (AR) and get to know our virtual robot, Rob. Write code to give it tasks, solve puzzles and traverse the world all in AR.

If you want something a little more physical, then coding Codey is for you. A little panda-like robot that can be programmed to drive around or used as a controller to play games.

Not only that but you can mod and hack those games as well, changing them to make them your own. Make cool new mechanics, add awesome design changes, and build incredible games.

With expert mentors on hand to help, you’ll get to experience coding in a fun and supported way.

For ages 6-16, any experience level. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Accompanying adults do not need to book a ticket, but will be asked to remain in the venue for the duration of the workshop. Accompanying adults do not take part in the workshop.

The Code Zone offers online and local coding clubs for children aged 6 to 16.

Their mission is to make learning to code fun and inclusive, equipping young minds with valuable, lifelong skills such as critical thinking, self-confidence, and problem-solving.

Children join weekly clubs and learn to code by modding and hacking games. Their sessions are led by highly trained mentors, dedicated to creating a supportive and encouraging environment. They ensure each child feels valued and included, fostering a sense of community.

The aim is to make coding accessible to everyone. Their sessions are designed to be welcoming and adaptable, ensuring that all children, regardless of background or ability, can discover the joys of coding and develop their skills in a supportive environment.

The Code Zone not only helps children become proficient coders but empowers them with the skills and confidence to navigate the digital world and beyond.
