At Code Club Aotearoa, we know that behind every flashing LED, Scratch game, or Python script is someone who made that learning moment possible—a volunteer.

In our latest Code Club Ākonga Spotlight, we chat to Amani and Lilith—two young coders from Auckland. Amani, a Year 6 student, shares her experience creating an ocean-themed shop app in Scratch, while Lilith, age 10, talks about the inspiration behind her find the bug game!

Coolest Projects 2025 is open — and we want Code Clubs across Aotearoa to get amongst it! This online showcase celebrates creativity and code from young people around the world.

We know the curriculum is full and the school year moves fast. That’s why one of the most effective ways to include digital technologies is to connect them with the learning already happening in your classroom.

Started by a passionate parent in 2018, Ao Tawhiti’s Code Club has grown into a vibrant, hands-on space where creativity and tech collide.
