Creative Computing Club

About Creative Computing Club

Creative Computing Club was originally set-up to provide 11 to 16-year-old participants in Suffolk, England with the opportunity to learn new digital skills in a fun and informal learning environment, but has since grown to include weekend sessions, private tutoring, adult learning and teacher CPD training covering GCSE ICT and computing. Creative Computing Club’s informal approach and emphasis on making things as opposed to learning things helps the participants acquire new skills through “stealth learning”; making video games helped with mathematics and group work, presenting projects helped with confidence and socialising, Electronics helped with fine motor skills and science based curricula outside of the club. Creative Computing Club provides 8 week long modules with further resources for participants to continue using, long after that particular module has run. The courses are pitched at absolute beginners and allow for participants to develop even further outside of the sessions. The resources are published for free online allowing them to download, learn and re-do the activities at home, and is key in the success of the participants rapid learning. Additionally the range of activities from illustration to electronics, computer programming to design provides the participants with a wide and varied set of engaging activities and to develop new skills they may have otherwise overlooked. Creative Computer Club is a continued source of outstanding young technologists for Suffolk and already has a excellent track record of facilitating and accelerating students interested in technology into careers, further and higher education.
