Empower Your Class With Digital Skills
Empower you class with digital skill for the future with our online schools programme, suitable for classroom learning.
We have built a Stem-focused online coding platform for schools. Our lessons are available on-demand, offering you the flexibility to fit them around your own class schedule. Our step-by-step video lessons are designed for you class to watch, pause and code themselves.
We can deliver our courses remotely using our pre-recorded video lessons designed especially for the classroom environment. Get the kids setup with laptops or chromebooks, start the video lesson, pause at the pause-points, and the kids can code along with us. It’s that easy!
Teacher Training Modules
We provide a set of Teacher Training modules so your teachers are well equipped to support their class on their coding journey with The Code Lab.
- Teachers learn how to use The Code Lab Online Learning Platform in the Classroom.
- They learn the basics of computer science and coding using step-by-step video lessons.
- They learn the basics of the particular coding language they are covering in the lessons, so they can help with any questions the class may have.
- They learn how to answer the types of questions that may come up, and tips and tricks on how to navigate their chosen coding language.
Feedback from teachers so far has been excellent.
Looking for an Event for Your School?
We can help you celebrate Tech Week, Engineers Week, EUCodeWeek or Science Week at your school, either Online or In-Person.
Organise an online coding lesson for some of your classes using our Schools Coding Programme, with on-demand video lessons to suit your senior classes.
Arrange a term of weekly coding lessons for some classes in your school, where pupils will earn the fundamentals of coding and computer science through fun and engaging step-by-step lessons each week.
We are based in County Louth and can travel to schools in Louth and neighbouring counties to run a coding, robotics or electronics workshop or event. Schools programmes can be tailored to suit your school, class size and timetables.
We are passionate about teaching children to be creative with technology. Get in touch to find out more and let’s see how we can help incorporate STEM into your school.
Previous School Events
We have developed a school-focused suite of coding, electronics and robotics courses which can be tailored to suit your primary school.
We have a proven track record in delivering in-class based coding lessons and have been teaching coding to children in Co Louth primary schools since 2017.
School visits were stopped in 2020 due to the pandemic, but the learning didn’t stop there! The Code Lab was very fortunate to work with Louth County Libraries in 2021 to deliver pre-recorded coding lessons for local schools. Below are some of the schools we work with, and a little information on the tailored coding experiences they have received to date.
Since 2022, we are now offering a new suite of recorded coding lessons which are designed specifically for the classroom environment, and can be delivered at a time that suits your school calendar and timetable.
