<DIV STYLE="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;">Code Club is a nationwide network of volunteer-led after-school coding clubs for children aged 9-11</DIV>
<DIV STYLE="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;"> </DIV>
<DIV STYLE="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;"><SPAN STYLE="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;">Venues including schools and libraries all over the Black Country and the region more widely are seeking volunteers to run after-school Code Clubs for pupils and to help teachers deliver the new Computing curriculum.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV STYLE="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;"> </DIV>
<DIV STYLE="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;">We create projects for our volunteers to teach at after school coding clubs or at non school venues such as libraries. The projects we make teach children how to program by showing them how to make computer games, animations and websites. Our volunteers go to their local club for an hour a week and teach one project a week. Many of the projects use Scratch.</DIV>

<DIV STYLE="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;">Wolverhampton has excellent public transport options. The Wulfruna Campus is a five to ten minute walk from Wolverhampton Train Station, Wolverhampton St. George's Metro stop and the main bus station. </DIV>
<DIV STYLE="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;"> </DIV>
<DIV STYLE="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;">If you are coming by car, although there is only very limited metered parking by the main reception on Wulfruna Street, there are a number of public pay car parks within walking distance. Of these, the Civic Centre car park, at the end of Wulfruna Street, or the long-term car park off Whitmore/Broad Street are the closest. Parking spaces are indicated here <A HREF="http://www.wlv.ac.uk/media/wlv/pdf/uow_wolv_street_map.pdf" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">uow_wolv_street_map.pdf</A>.</DIV>
