Please join us for ‘Getting Started with Coding’ Teacher Training! This training is open to librarians, in-service and pre-service teacher across all sectors. By the end of this training, you will be all ready to get your classroom coding, or even start your own Code Club at school. The course will be highly interactive and will allow attendees to create projects in Scratch, Scratch Jr or Python simultaneously based on preference.

Please register yourself and encourage colleagues to register independently (do not register on behalf of others). In the case of unexpected absence, all registering teachers are asked to nominate an alternate attendee. Contact us anytime with any questions!

As part of the registration process, you are asked to email through, or bring a Letter of Nomination from your Principal or Line Manager.
