1 of 11 · A flat 2D world

Real club game clips - Games start simple, then powered by your imagination, almost anything you can imagine can be built, tested and then played online with your group.

Many games, one club

Not your normal Computer Science Lesson: Games you design, code, test and play online with your group. 

Every club member gets an account in the Club Coders Game Engine app. The coding and gaming  environment opens on your laptop or PC. Everyone's player is in a safe, shared world, in which you can change almost anything. Take a look at two of our games:

Robot Lab arena from above: TITAN and RAZORBACK, a central pit, a saw, wall spikes, a flipper and the four Resident Robots in the corners
Season 1

Robot Lab

Design and code a battle robot. Make design decisions to balance between speed, attack, armour and control. Design its body, weapons and control it yourself against the computer and the other players in your group. Then write brains in Python and allow your robot to fight autonomously with the other players whilst avoiding the pit, saws, spikes, the four Resident Robots, plus anything else you and your group design! 

  • Physics-driven 3D arena with hazards and Resident Robots
  • Your robot as editable Python code 
  • Build robot brains and immersive environments
Fight Lab over-the-shoulder view: two armoured fighters with swords and shields circle each other in the ring
Season 2

Fight Lab

Design and code a 3D fighting game with sidesteps, combos, specials and much more. Design your character, the arena, fighting style, combo, special moves, all as Python code. Write a Non-Playable Character brain that blocks, dodges and counters. Play against the other members in your group. 

  • Motion-captured editable fighters and fighting styles. Change almost anything you can imagine. 
  • Your fighter as Python code
  • Create new game types and new immersive arena environments.  
A session, minute by minute

75 minutes. One mission. Everyone in the same virtual environment.

Each mission has coding activities the mentor checks for and works on with each person to make the game their own. 

A game-style achievement panel reading Safe AI user, with ticks for no personal info, clear limits, predicted the result and tested the AI's code
Using AI safely is a skill we teach, test and reward.
Games + AI

Everyone else talks about AI. Here you program and change a real game with AI - Then play it.

Groups write AI requests inside the game. The mentor runs each request through advanced game AI and runs tests to make sure the results are safe. You get to make advanced mods to your games and test them in real-time in a shared safe environment.

  • Write a safe, precise AI request (no personal information, clear limits, a defined way to test it)
  • Predict what will happen, then test it in a game
  • Test the AI-written code and find the mistakes hidden in it
  • Learn about AI and its safe and appropriate use. 

How we teach AI

For parents

Exciting enough for them. Reassuring enough for you.

Club Coders turns the hours your child already spends gaming into hours spent designing, coding, testing and explaining. Every session produces evidence of progress that is shared with you at the end of each season. 

🛡️

Enhanced DBS-checked mentor

Every session is run by Peter, DBS-checked and safeguarding-trained, with over a decade in STE(A)M education.

👥

Small groups

Same group, same mentor, same day, same time every week. The environment is built for everybody so nobody is a spectator.

📄

A learner card after every season

A PDF showing the missions completed, the computing outcomes they showed, and the mentor's feedback.

🔇

No direct text chat, voice and usernames only

The games have no text messaging. Learners log in with a username; the UK class server stores a hashed password and their designs. Communication is by group audio only. 

🎓

Mapped to the DfE curriculum

Every mission is linked to the KS3 and KS4 computing curriculums and DfE guidance on AI.

Quick questions

Things people ask before booking.

Does my child need any coding experience?
No. Lessons start with sliders, numbers and predictions. As the season progresses they're writing Python functions that change their game world and their characters. If they've done Python at school or before, they'll move faster in their own ways, allowing everyone to progress at their own rate: the missions are the same for everyone and the mentor checks their progress. Everyone is made to feel challenged and supported at the level that is right for them. 
What do you need at home?
A Windows 10 or 11 laptop or PC from the last five or six years, broadband, and ideally headphones with a mic. You download the Club Coders app (no installation) and log in with your username and starter password we give you. (Mac and Chromebook aren't supported yet).
Can they play between sessions?
Not yet. The arena opens when the session launches for the group, so the games are a live club activity rather than a game they play alone at home. Their robot, fighter and brain are saved on their account between sessions, and Studio+ members get a second weekly session. 
They can already learn to code for free. Why pay?
They can, and almost nobody finishes online non-interactive courses. What you're paying for is accountability and a reason to turn up: a fixed slot, the same mentor who can see their work, other players to work with and play against. Beating missions and a learner card after every season. Learning to code at Club Coders is learning in a controlled, safe and inclusive environment working on STE(A)M and social skills that are real skills for life. 
Is it safe?
Sessions are invite only, run on Zoom for audio, joined in a web browser with the club username only so no Zoom account, email or real name is ever needed. Sessions have a safe no contact waiting room, a passcode, a DBS-checked mentor present at all times and audio recordings kept for safeguarding. The games have no text chat. Parents and carers are welcome to sit with their own child during any session, and can join separately by arrangement with the mentor. Full details are on our safeguarding page.
Can we cancel?
Yes. Membership is monthly rolling with no minimum term and no joining fee. Cancel before the next billing date, or pause for free during exam season.
