Nominate a school or club for our exciting
MOON LANDING CODING ADVENTURE!
Join in through our 'Reach for the Sky' grant,
with the first 50 schools and clubs funded by the Department for Transport
and the UK Civil Aviation Authority.
Additional school delivery will be funded with the help of
our Moon Landing Coding Collective aerospace funders and supporters!
You can nominate a school or club - or volunteer to help!
Do you know a school or club that would like a FREE Moon Landing Coding Adventure thanks to our wonderful sponsors?
This engaging adventure teaches coding concepts through interactive theatre, and inspires children to consider careers in STEM and aerospace. By highlighting role models of all genders and ethnicities, it also encourages those from under-represented groups (particularly girls and children from diverse cultural backgrounds) to see a future for themselves in STEM, while they also have fun learning all about the first moon landing!
In September 2026, we launched our new, updated, older age-group Moon Landing Coding Adventure, so there is now content for ages 7-11, as well as ages 5-7!
Our fun educational package is designed to be run by teachers or leaders over half a day, or in a few sessions, but with all the planning work taken off their hands! When they login to their account on our website, the dashboard will contain all the digital content needed for preparation, including video links, teaching guides, lesson plans, worksheets, and other printable resources.
Anyone can nominate a UK school or club using our form below, or you can register your interest as a volunteer. Volunteers get to give back, have a fantastic day helping with one of our coding adventures, and feel great knowing that they're helping to inspire the tech innovators of the future!
Schools and youth groups will get free access to our fantastic online show and follow-up activities, plus some great additional resources. Find out more in our nomination FAQs below or feel free to get in touch!

What are Get with the Program's coding adventures all about?
Get with the Program's coding adventures are 'red letter day' events for schools and clubs. We've developed a series of these fabulous coding adventures designed to inclusively inspire today's young people to become the tech innovators of the future.
How come schools can get a Moon Landing Coding Adventure for free?
Our Moon Landing Coding Adventure update development has been very kindly sponsored by The Department for Transport and the Civil Aviation Authority, via their 'Reach for the Sky' Challenge Fund, as well as funding for 50 schools September - December 2026. Funding for further schools beyond this will be generously donated by our Moon Landing Coding Collective of engaged sponsors!
What is 'Reach for the Sky'?
The 'Reach for the Sky Challenge Fund' is an initiative created by the Department for Transport and the Civil Aviation Authority, with the aim of inspiring young people, especially those from under-represented groups, into careers in aviation and aerospace.
The fund has provided a total of £750,000 to support outreach programmes and educational initiatives within schools and universities, building on the government’s promise to secure the long-term future of aviation and give young people the opportunities they deserve.

When are the Moon Landing Coding Adventures available?
Schools/clubs can choose a date from now until the end of December 2026 (subject to availability), and from January 2027 (subject to Moon Landing Coding Collective funding).
Which schools can sign up or be nominated?
Any school, club or educational setting in the UK, with children from the ages of 5 to 11, can be nominated.
Who can nominate a school?
Anyone can nominate a school or club
for one of our Moon Landing Coding Adventures.
Who can volunteer?
Anyone can volunteer to help out at a school or club. We'll pass your details to the school/group, and they'll let you know about any additional checks required.
What does being a volunteer involve?
Volunteers have fun helping the children with their teamwork and using new coding terms (some are new to the volunteers too!) Click here for more.
What does each coding adventure include?
Schools/clubs get access to our Moon Landing Coding Adventure from the ages of 5 to 11 completely free of charge.
Our remotely delivered, interactive Moon Landing Coding Adventure includes a 20-25 minute show and two 45-minute follow-up activities, plus two additional worksheet-based activities designed to encourage understanding of careers in aerospace. One of the worksheet-based activities is designed to be done as homework.
Do I need to ask the school/club before nominating?
No - you let us know the details, and we will contact the school/club to gauge interest and find a suitable date.
What equipment do schools/clubs need for our Moon Landing Coding Adventure?
We've designed this so schools/clubs don't need lots of computers or equipment to take part. There's an online show for everyone to watch, an unplugged activity which doesn't need any technology at all, and the online activity is optional. The two additional activities are printed worksheets.
For the online show: Schools/clubs will need a computer with internet access and a screen so the children can watch the show together.
For the unplugged activity: Schools/clubs will ideally need a hall or communal space (indoors or outside), print-outs of the activity templates (or find alternative items), whiteboards/paper and pens, and a way of setting out grids ideally on the floor, or table, (e.g. with chalk, tape or rubber mats).
For the online activity (optional): Schools/clubs will need a computer or device with internet access for each child or pair of children.
For the worksheet activities: No special equipment required, just a printer.
