The Code Lab’s online learning platform offers a variety of coding and computer science courses and lessons to empower children with digital skills for the future.
Children interact with technology everyday, they watch, listen and play with all types of tech, but they are merely consumers.
At The Code Lab, we teach kids to be creative with and creators of technology. We do this by teaching them child-friendly coding languages that are easy to understand, with graphical features that make coding fun and engaging.

My daughter had a great week of coding with The Code Lab. She preferred the video lessons to live lessons, as she could stop, start and rewind as needed. All in all a great week and we had fun playing the games, our favourite was the game from day 2!

My two boys are 8 and 12, they did the Scratch Beginners Course. They really enjoyed it, and are using Scratch ever since. They were able to follow all the steps and had no questions after it, everything they needed was in the videos. They did it separately, so the 8 year old

Thanks a million for the Beginners Scratch course Joan, my son absolutely loves it. He is delighted with his mini-game, we can’t believe how much he has learned already. He wants to do the improvers course next!

My 10 year old daughter did classes with The Code Lab and really enjoyed it. She was amazed with what she could create and how it all worked. It was explained in an age appropriate way making it fun while challenging the kids. We have done a lot of after school activities and have to applaud the Code Lab for getting the right balance of learning and fun, keeping the kids engaged. She will definitely be signing up to do further classes.

We have worked with Joan for over ten years, initially in her capacity as a parent of pupils in our school, and then as The Code Lab, using our school facilities for workshops. She trailblazed the STEM/Coding phenomenon for primary school aged children and now offers a variety of online and and in person workshops and courses, inspiring young children to become digital innovators of tomorrow. Highly recommended.

My daughter loved the coding classes from a young age at primary. She enjoyed it so much that she is now in 5th year doing computer science as a chosen subject! Cant recommend Joan at The Code Lab enough! Coding is for girls too!
Parent
My daughter loved Joan’s coding camp, an added bonus was that children could continue to develop their projects when they came home. A great alternative to playing computer games is learning how to build your own ones!
Parent
The Code Lab is owned and run by Joan McCann. Joan’s courses are Fantastic, my kids have absolutely loved them and got so carried away with the course that I could barely tear them away. Definitely a better use of their screen time!! Thank you Joan for your wonderful courses, it has opened my children’s eyes to the joy of coding!
Parent
I cannot recommend this camp highly enough. It was structured and fun and my child learnt so much. As well as screen coding, they learnt some coding/ maths concepts through STEM art type activities.There was lots of opportunities to collaborate and make friends. A lovely camp.
Founder and CEO of The Code Lab, Joan McCann joined Brendan Courtney on the RTE Radio 1 Ryan Tubridy Show on Wednesday 16th August.
Joan was joined by Caroline Reidy of TheHRSuite to promote the launch of the next round of ACORNS 9, a highly successful peer support initiative supported by the Department of Agriculture, Food and The Marine, focusing on early-stage female entrepreneurs living in rural Ireland.
It’s a fantastic interview outlining the ACORNS Programme and Joan’s Journey to Entrepreneurship.
