Code… the technological make-up of our modern world.\u00a0Although some of\u00a0us are\u00a0seasoned coders, it remains a\u00a0total mystery to many.\u00a0Perhaps not for long however, thanks to an exciting new programme from Barclays.<\/p>\n

\n

With coding courses rising with rapidity (and their fees following suit) and coding now even being part of the national curriculum, we were thrilled to hear about Barclay’s new programme Code Playground<\/strong><\/a>. It focusses on teaching the basics of coding to children in a safe, fun and incredibly useful way.<\/p>\n

\"code<\/a><\/p>\n

Code Playground<\/a> <\/strong>is an endearing and intelligent user-friendly\u00a0website that has been created to help teach kids the basics of coding.\u00a0The con-coders amongst us have had a quick go, and think it\u00a0would be\u00a0a really entertaining way to introduce the kids (or yourselves!) to the subject and help develop their digital skills for the future world of work.<\/p>\n

\"code2\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Alongside the site, Barclays are inviting kids to come along to sessions in selected branches for coding tutorials with their Digital Eagles experts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Simply go to the programme website<\/strong><\/a> to find your nearest session, open to children aged 7 to 17. Children are asked to bring an adult along, and a laptop.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, have a go on Code Playground here<\/strong><\/a>. We can’t think of a reason not to!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
