Calling all volunteers

Calling all volunteers ... only 3 weeks to go to our next Bupa Coding Day and less than 1 week to National Volunteering Week!

We love to create opportunities for volunteering, and for our Bupa Coding Days coding adventures, you can not only nominate a school, you can also choose to volunteer there too!

As a volunteer, you'll be on hand to help with the activities, encouraging the children to explore,  discover and get excited about coding, and stepping in if children need extra help. You'll also be providing some much-needed support for the teachers, whilst learning and having fun yourself!

Here's a summary of what you'll be doing as a Healthy Lunch-Bot volunteer:

🤖 Having fun! Watching our online shows and getting involved with the activities along with 5-11 year-olds

🤖 Helping the children - with some fun 'unplugged' (non-tech) activities for 5 -11 year-olds

🤖 Encouraging the children - to play and explore, and use all the coding terms from our show, whilst helping them with their teamwork skills

🤖 Learning new skills - depending on the school and their choice of activities you could learn to program in Scratch, and help the children with their projects

🤖 Feeling great! Because you're helping to inspire the tech innovators of the future!

Volunteers from past Bupa Coding Days have found it an enjoyable and insightful activity and often sign up again to offer their support!

Our next Bupa Coding Day is running on Tuesday 17th June for our primary schools and throughout June and July for our secondary schools and, you can also nominate a school and volunteer for next academic year's events on 12th November 2025, and 17th March & 18th June 2026!
