About the WGA Coding Clubs this Summer
We aim to create a fun environment to make video games for ages 10-16 years. Develop your own platform video game this summer – think Mario, Sonic or even the Atari classic Pitfall! Design characters and challenges, create the environment, and choose the gameplay. No coding skills are required. Make friends, learn to make a video game, share ideas, and enjoy being creative.

FAQ
- Can we pay for single sessions? Unfortunately, we are only offering club spots for the entire summer.
- Can parents or carers attend? Absolutely, we encourage it! You can learn and build games together with your child at no extra cost.
- I’ve never coded!? Then this is for you, we start off thinking that you don’t know anything about it, and so ease you in.
- Refunds? To keep our costs down, we don’t offer refunds if you do not attend.
- This is a pilot? Yes, we ran a successful taster session in Penarth last month, and it was well received. Now we’re trying to establish a long term coding club. Your support is much appreciated.
- What do I need to bring? Just yourself, and maybe some snacks and water. We have all the computers you will need.
