The role
Founded in 2012, Code Club is one of the largest after-school programmes in the UK and Ireland.

We think all children should have the opportunity to be creative with digital technologies, no matter who they are or where they come from.

At Code Club we want to make it simple for teachers and volunteers to help children to build their digital skills outside of the classroom.

That's why we provide coding projects and training that are free, easy to use, and accessible for everyone.

About us

The Raspberry Pi Foundation is a UK-based educational charity with the mission to enable young people to realise their full potential through the power of computing and digital technologies.

Established in 2008 and first known for our product — the wildly successful Raspberry Pi computer — the Foundation has developed education programmes, learning experiences, and products that are helping millions of young people learn vital new knowledge and skills

Through Code Club and CoderDojo, we support the world's largest network of free informal computing clubs for young people.

Tens of thousands of educators have taken our online courses, and millions of people use our free online learning resources.

To deepen our understanding of how young people learn about computing and how to create with digital technologies, we conduct academic research, and we use that knowledge to increase the impact of our work and advance the field of computing education.

Across all of our work, we work hard to engage young people who come from backgrounds that are traditionally underrepresented in the field of computing or who experience educational disadvantage.

We work all over the world, with teams based in the UK, Ireland, North America, and India, and partnerships with mission-aligned organisations in over 40 countries.

We are at the forefront of the global movement to help young people learn about computing and digital making. You can read more about our mission, values, and goals in our Annual Review 2022 and our Strategy
