This event has been cancelled in line with new Government restrictions from 5 November to prevent the spread of COVID-19. You can request a refund or you can transfer your ticket/s to one of our Creative Computing Clubs in December.

Code your own adventure for National Novel Writing Month, as we encourage young programmers to get creative this November. Write an interactive storyline with options like a ‘Choose your own Adventure’ book, then change the fonts, colours and add pictures to it using HTML and CSS (the same languages used to code websites). Our digital designers can continue working on their masterpiece at home, and share their adventure with friends and family or online with #NaNoWriMo.

Get coding with expert guidance at our hands-on programming club for young technologists. Our fun sessions reflect real world scenarios as coders bring their own projects to life with the latest tech gadgets, experimenting with BBC micro:bits, speakers or lights and programming in a variety of languages such as Python, Scratch or MakeCode depending on the session.
We encourage creativity and self-led learning with themed projects, and practice patience and problem-solving skills in learning to debug computer code. Resources are available so that projects can be continued at home (this *may* require additional kit) and digital projects can be shared with friends online. Beginners welcome!

Science Oxford welcomes all children to our clubs. If you or your child has additional needs, please get in touch to discuss how we can best support your child to make the most of the club.

We are committed to inclusion and we recognise that cost is sometimes a barrier. Funded places for eligible families are now available, thanks to the Austin and Hope Pilkington Trust. Families could be eligible for these places for several reasons; for example, if your child receives free school meals or is a looked-after child.
