How to start a coding club in your school

Starting a coding club at your school can feel daunting, but with the right approach, you can build a thriving technical community that inspires students and supports their learning.

Step 1: Find your core team. Identify 2–3 teachers or students who are passionate about technology and willing to commit time. You don't need to be an expert — curiosity and enthusiasm matter more.

Step 2: Choose a focus. Decide whether you'll focus on a specific language (e.g., Python), a platform (e.g., Arduino), or a mix. Start small and expand as interest grows.

Step 3: Schedule regular sessions. Consistency is key. Weekly or bi-weekly meetings help students build momentum and form habits.

Step 4: Connect with Youth Tech Foundation. We offer resources, mentorship, and partnership opportunities for schools looking to grow their tech programs. Reach out to learn how we can support your club.
