I have been asked by a parent of a girl who was in CodeClub last year if there was anything more advanced for children at secondary schools. He said that his daughter really enjoyed it, and wanted to do more. So far, though,mI've not been able to find anything that might fit the bill. They are after something more formal, with the view to using it as part of an application for a scholarship to a private school as well.

I suggested asking the local universities about this, but I have a feeling that this is such a new topic area that there's not much available. I also suggested seeing if Microsoft, Google or Apple have anything that may help. What he doesn't want is his daughter sitting in her bedroom teaching herself software writing.

I was wondering if anyone here may have come across some kind of club/tutor/out of school organisation that can help.

What language(s) have been taught in CodeClub and to what sort of level?

My normal recommendation after people have completed a basic syntax level course is to head over to Project Euler (http://projecteuler.net/) and have a look at some of the problems there, but that seems to run rather counter to what her parents want. Everything else I'm aware of is generally Microsoft Tech courses for people in industry etc.

In the first year, it's Scratch - which is a GUI-Lego like way of assembling code. In year 2 it moves on to HTM, and CSS, and into Python.

Ooh, would be interested to talk about code club sometime. I've just started and done the first two weeks.

For stuff after code club there is code academy or whatever it's called. It starts fairly simple iirc.

First rule of CodeClub...

It's not a bug, it's a feature

also , we don't care about warnings?

A warning is just a "to do", they are yellow for a reason, like post-it notes
