After a successful initial trial in the later half of 2019, Code Classes have returned for 2020.

We are continuing our support of this initiative at Mallee Rising to make coding more accessible for people in our region.

Learning to code provides not just skills that open up new career opportunities, it also provides valuable skills in problem solving, critical thinking, and engrains resilience.

The initial trial last year was quite successful, we already have one student who is rapidly working towards starting to publish add-ons for Minecraft.

The structure we’re using initially is a guided self-paced structure of lessons that you can work through at a pace you are comfortable. Learning to code isn’t a race after all. Once these lessons are completed, we move you onto an intermediate level of learning, and from there onto learning industry languages.

We will also run some special classes this year around AI and machine learning, robotics, and introduce another stream of learning that expands on the current “just starting out” level of learning.

The classes are free to attend, and are suitable from ages 8 and upwards. Your never too old to learn new tricks. We run them every Saturday between 11AM and midday in Mallee Rising.

You can register here , or just turn up on the day (preferably register to help us with managing class sizes).
