BUPA CODING DAYS

Sign up your school, nominate a school or volunteer to help
at a local school on one of our Bupa Coding Days!

We're so excited to be continuing our Bupa partnership. Our Bupa Coding Days take place on three days during the academic year, allowing UK schools to access our fabulous Healthy Lunch-Bot Coding Adventure for 5-11-year-olds for free!

 

Each has a healthy eating theme with plenty of delicious coding and our next date is 13th November 2024. We also have further dates planned for 20 March 2025 and 17 June 2025!

​

Anyone can sign up or nominate a school using our form below, or you can register your interest as a volunteer. Schools will get free access to a 30-minute online show and a 45-minute follow-up activity per class (plus some great additional resources).

What equipment do schools need?

We've designed our coding adventures so schools don't need lots of computers or equipment to take part. There's an unplugged activity which doesn't need any technology at all, and the online activity is optional. Here are all the details:

​

For the online show: Schools will need a computer with internet access and a screen so the children can watch the show together.

​

For the unplugged activity: Schools will need a hall or communal space (indoors or outside), print-outs of the activity templates, whiteboards/paper and pens, and a way of setting out grids on the floor, (e.g. with chalk, tape or rubber mats).

​

For the online activity (optional): Schools will need a computer or device with internet access for each child or pair of children.
