Croydon partners new by Daniel Mullings

Coast to Capital LEP – Croydon Providers

Introduction Dear Enterprise Advisers and partners, The aim of this presenta5on is to introduce you to some of the providers of government schemes, informa5on, careers and guidance available to schools, colleges and students. The majority of these providers offer a na5onal service, but where the service is tailored locally and where we have a specific contact, such as Croydon Council, this has been iden5fied. Some offer free services, whilst others include a membership or fee and therefore are an investment for schools. I’m sure this presenta5on is not en5rely complete, as these are just the providers I have come across since working with the Enterprise Adviser Network, but I hope that you find this a useful resource. Please feel free to contact me with your feedback. Best wishes,

Pru! Follow us on Twi+er - @coast2capital Website - www.coast2capital.org.uk Email – contact@coast2capital.org.uk

Saturday club in Croydon Library h\ps://zen.coderdojo.com/dojos/gb/london-borough- of-croydon/croydon-tech-city Code Club UK is a na5onwide network of volunteers and educators who run free coding clubs for young people aged 9 – 13 h\ps://www.codeclub.org.uk/

At Code Club, we think all children should have the opportunity to learn to code, no ma\er who they are or where they come from. To do this, we support a na5onwide network of volunteers and educators who run free coding clubs for young people aged 9-13 to build and share their ideas, learning along the way. We currently have over 10,000 clubs in over 100 countries, and our club projects have been translated in 28 languages. Our projects are easy to follow step-by-step guides which help young people learn Scratch, HTML & CSS and Python by making games, anima5ons, and websites. The projects gradually introduce coding concepts to allow young people to build their knowledge incrementally, meaning there’s also no need for the adult running the session to be a compu5ng expert. We also support ac5ve clubs with a range of extra resources like cer5ﬁcates and posters, as well as compe55ons and oﬀers. Code Club was founded in 2012, and in 2015 joined forces with the Raspberry Pi Founda5on, a registered UK charity. Code Club is a key educa5onal programme for the Founda5on, working to help many more young people learn how to build their ideas with code.
