Tuesday 11th August. 22nd Minecraft Education Parkour. Jump into the world of Minecraft Education and build your own thrilling parkour challenge! In this exciting coding adventure, students will program their character to jump across platforms, navigate tricky obstacles, and race to the finish without falling. Along the way, they’ll design and create their very own custom parkour course while developing problem-solving, coding, and computational thinking skills in a fun and interactive Minecraft world. Monday 17th August. Micro:bit Reaction Game. Test your speed in our exciting Micro:bit Reaction Game challenge! Students will build their very own game controller using cardboard, tin foil, crocodile clips, and Micro:bits before coding a fast-paced reaction game to play against their teammates. With quick reflexes, teamwork, and hands-on creativity, children will discover how coding and electronics can be turned into a fun, competitive game. At Jam Coding, we run fun and inspiring holiday clubs across Worcestershire and Herefordshire, blending digital creativity with hands-on activities to create an unforgettable experience for children. Activity Description: Our holiday clubs offer an exciting mix of coding, animation, and digital design, alongside engaging offline activities, including crafts, sports, and puzzles.

We teach the future

Jam Coding Worcestershire/Herefordshire

As parents ourselves, we understand how important it is to prepare children for the future. That's one of the main reasons why my wife and I are so passionate about running Jam Coding Worcestershire/Herefordshire. Technology is now part of almost every aspect of life, and the digital skills children develop today will play a huge role in their future education and careers. We believe that computing should be about much more than simply using technology. It should help children develop creativity, problem-solving skills, logical thinking, resilience, and confidence. Through our experience working in schools, we've seen that computing is often limited by time constraints and mixed-ability classes, making it difficult to build on each child's individual knowledge and interests. That's where Jam Coding is different. We create engaging, hands-on experiences that allow children to explore coding, robotics, game design, stop-motion animation, and other digital technologies at their own pace while having fun. What children learn with us isn't just entertainment. The activities are carefully designed to develop real-world skills that will benefit them throughout their lives. By making technology exciting and accessible from an early age, we hope to inspire a lifelong interest in digital learning and help children become confident users and creators of technology. Seeing children grow in confidence, discover new talents, and achieve things they never thought possible is what makes this work so rewarding for us. We are proud to play a small part in helping the next generation develop the skills they will need for an increasingly digital world.
