Happy STEM Day 2025!
November 8th is STEM Day, a celebration of all things Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics! Read on to find out more about all things STEM, and how this links to The Code Zone...
Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Well, not quite. In reality STEM is stronger than ever, and even has its own national day! The 8th of November!
STEM-Certified Mentors
Obviously you hear us mention our STEM certified mentors all the time (We’re very proud) so we naturally are going to be constantly working to promote knowledge pertaining to those areas!
Our mentors are always encouraging our members to get excited about tech, always happy and excited to talk about and teach the latest trends within technology. We believe it’s a brilliant idea to know what technology is around and why it works because these are the things that everybody has to interact with in their day to day lives.
Coding for Everyone
We also believe that coding should be accessible to all, this is why we provide so many different options for both our live sessions and our Game Dev Academy!
Even a base level of coding knowledge will help in your day to day life, maybe you have an option to program your heating: Understanding what “IF TEMP < 12 HEAT UNTIL TEMP > 20” is actually doing will make using these pieces of technology so much easier in the long term!

About The Code Zone Academy
Posts like this one are written by the mentors, about what members have been building. The Game Dev Academy has no fixed session time: a new build goes up every week and a child opens it whenever they are ready, with a STEM-certified mentor answering by text and video message when they get stuck.
Children build their own games rather than following a set course, starting in Scratch. Levels move down as readily as up, and staying where you are is a perfectly good outcome. Every mentor is background-checked and STEM-certified.

The blog is in two halves. Guides are the evergreen explainers written by the mentors who teach the clubs, covering the questions parents actually ask: what comes after Scratch, how to support a coding-mad child when you cannot code yourself, and what works for autistic and ADHD children.
Club news is the other half, and it is where posts like this one live: game jams, Minecraft builds and weekly roundups, written up by whoever ran the session. Neither is marketing. If you want to know what the work actually looks like before you sign up to anything, club news is the more honest read of the two.
