Please meet CODE4FUN student Rafael Deubler, who recently released his own Android App.
Rafael started learning coding with CODE4FUN from our Scratch Beginners course two years ago, and currently being our Pro Unity3D student he developed an Android App by himself using Unity3D, a professional game engine. What an incredible achievement, very well done, Raf!
Please check Raf’s App on Google Play: it is a very exciting ricochet type of game with incredible physics and animation.
We are very proud to be announcing the winners of our second Winter Coding Challenge. This semester we saw 238 of our 1000 students step up to the task, and competition was certainly fierce.
The theme was out of this world – literally! Utilising the skills they learned in our classes, students created games and stories based on the theme ‘Life in Space’.
We are pleased to see an increase of 120 participants from last year’s Christmas Coding Challenge, which received entries from 118 of our students.
Submissions are judged on execution, but also on creativity. Digital literacy skills are crucial for kids growing up in a world that is being reshaped by technology. At CODE4FUN, we also prioritise developing creativity and presentation skills. These skills are valuable in any context; whether it be school, future careers, or simply helping kids to build confidence and learn to capture their imagination.
By engaging in our challenges students continue to build and showcase these skills, and teaching staff are able to monitor their progress. The increasing quality of work that we are seeing submitted is a testament to the effectiveness of such challenges in both motivating kids, and helping our teaching staff to track their individual process.
They also have a great time doing it, as is reflected in the booming popularity! If your child has missed out or can’t wait to get stuck into it again – don’t fret! We will be holding another coding challenge in second semester, and invite all the students to take part in the fun.
In the meantime, we encourage you to take a look at the excellent work produced by our students this semester: https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/3656108/projects/

Y2 – Y6 students will develop their coding skills and build their own computer games using Scratch.
Y7 – Y12 Students will learn the fundamentals of computer programming in a visual context using Processing as a programming language.
Each student will take home their projects developed during the camp, which can be published online or shared with family and friends.
Are great for Primary school students, who want to build their coding skills from Scratch. Students from Y2 to Y6 with no previous experience are welcome. We will use Scratch programming language that allows to build amazing project from the very first minute.
Are perfect for experienced Y2 – Y6 students, who would like to take their coding skills to the next level and create more complex projects in Scratch. Advanced Camp is ideal in conjunction with Beginners Coding Camp.
NOTE: This is the all new program, so if your children have done camps with us before – they are also welcome to enrol.
If you want to book your child Y2-Y6 child in for two days – feel free to book them in any Beginners and Advanced coding camps.
Is designed for High School students, who want to make a next step after using drag & drop environments like Scratch / Stencyl / Snap. Students will use Processing as a programming language, which is built on the Java language, but uses a simplified syntax, hence makes it easier to transition to a text-based programming.
