Code Club UK has created a great range of Python projects for absolute beginners to get stuck into.
There are a couple of taster projects available to all. However, most of the projects are available to Code Club members only.
To access the locked projects you will require a Code Club UK ID and PIN code. If you are a South Morningside Primary School parent we can provide you with these upon request.
