@Libxx1 @CoderDojo @CodeClub Really good point Liz, it's definitely more challenging to support children across a range of abilities online, but great to hear you found a solution! #ChatCode

[Kat Leadbetter @CodeClubKat]

@pheylin @CoderDojo Sharing projects is a really nice way to help maintain that feeling of collaboration and togetherness online. I know a lot of clubs that don't have their own sites are using Scratch studios or Flipgrid to showcase their amazing projects. #ChatCode

@pheylin @CoderDojo It's great to hear that running clubs online has allowed more kids to take part Peter! #CodeChat

@Ali48928818 I love this Ali! A few clubs have mentioned trying the 'fix the broken code' approach and it sounds like it's been really effective, particularly in encouraging collaboration and participation online. #ChatCode

[Kat Leadbetter @CodeClubKat]

@drfootleg @CodeClub Great to have you with us! How have you found the experience of presenting on online clubs so far? #ChatCode

[Kat Leadbetter @CodeClubKat]

@Libxx1 @CodeClub We've loved hearing from the community on our calls too, so many amazing ideas!

@nadiaali3000 That's super exciting Nadia! HTML is a great first step into text-based coding. We ran a call about introducing web development in your club last week, which you can watch here https://t.co/fXmMXjkRM4

@Libxx1 @CodeClub @CoderDojo Hi Liz!

[Kat Leadbetter @CodeClubKat]

@nadiaali3000 @coolestprojects @makeymakey @scratch Amazing Nadia, I can't wait to see what you make for Coolest Projects! #ChatCode

@dojowarrington @CodeClub We'll be running an upcoming webinar on blended learning for those who are looking at running club sessions as a mix of in person and online - it might offer some useful ideas! https://t.co/gdx28HefTe

@zleap2018 @CoderDojo @freeCodeCamp I know our team are definitely missing the social elements of Code Club too. We're learning every day how to more better collaborate and socialise online, but it's certainly a new challenge for us! #ChatCode

[Kat Leadbetter @CodeClubKat]

@zleap2018 @CoderDojo @CodeClub @MastodonProject We've got a question on ways we can support you coming up, so let us know if there are any particular ways you think we can help you increase engagement! It's something we're certainly thinking about at the moment. #ChatCode

[Kat Leadbetter @CodeClubKat]

@zleap2018 @CodeClub @paigntonlibrary @torbayweekly We've got some ideas in our virtual club guidance that might help you to engage your attendees: https://t.co/vJ2lUUfNFm

Are you be able to contact parents of your club members directly via the library, so you can share information with them about the club? #ChatCode

[Kat Leadbetter @CodeClubKat]

@nadiaali3000 Great to have you with us today Nadia! #ChatCode

[Kat Leadbetter @CodeClubKat]

@Ali48928818 @CoderDojo It's amazing Ali how you've managed to bring your Code Club and Dojo online! 👏 #ChatCode

[Kat Leadbetter @CodeClubKat]

@CodeClub Hi everyone, I'm Kat and I worked to support Code Clubs around the world. Looking forward to hearing about what you've been up to over the past few months! #ChatCode

@hifromkatie @CodeClub I absolutely love the SenseHAT projects and the emulator is great if you don't have the physical hardware to hand in your club. #ChatCode

[Kat Leadbetter @CodeClubKat]

@Queeneloh @CodeClub @CoderDojo That's very true! #ChatCode
