More information on our coding adventures
How does sponsorship work?
We've developed a series of fabulous coding adventures designed to inclusively inspire today's young people to become the tech innovators of the future. A number of organisations have kindly sponsored one or a whole series of these events, so schools can access them for free.

What happens after I sign up or nominate a school?
As soon as a school is on our waitlist we'll get straight on the case and do our best to find a corporate sponsor for a coding adventure. If you've nominated a local school we'll also check with them first to ensure that they want to go ahead.

​
What equipment do schools need for our Healthy Lunch-Bot, Eco Coding, Moon Landing and Three Bears coding adventures?
We've designed these so schools don't need lots of computers or equipment to take part. There are unplugged activities which don't need any technology at all, and optional online activities.
​
For the online shows: Schools will need a computer with internet access and a screen so the children can watch the show together.
​
For the unplugged activities: Schools will need a hall or communal space (indoors or outside), print-outs of the activity templates, whiteboards/paper and pens, and a way of setting out grids on the floor, (e.g. with chalk, tape or rubber mats).
​
For the online activities (optional): Schools will need a computer or device with internet access for each child or pair of children.
​
What equipment do schools need for our Net Zero Coding Adventure?
​
For the online show: Schools will need a computer with internet access and a screen so the students can watch the show together.
​
For the online activity: Schools will need a computer or device with internet access for each child or pair of children.
