Four ways to build, code and play

Come for one, come for them all. Kids can mix and match every week — there's no wrong place to start.

🤖Robots

Program things that move in the real world. From LEGO robots to micro:bit and Arduino — snap it together, write the code, watch it come alive.

🚁Drones

Build, fix and fly tiny indoor drones. Learn real piloting skills and how they work. Safe, engaging, always supervised.

🏎️Cars

Strip an RC car right down, rebuild it, tune it, then race it. Learn how every part works — spanners at the ready.

🎮Games

Stop just playing games — make them! From Scratch blocks to real code in Roblox, Python and Unity. Design it, build it, share it.

ScratchRobloxPythonUnity
Real code, from day one

It looks like play. It's actually programming.

Every kid starts with colourful drag-and-drop blocks — the same logic real programmers use. Loops, events, variables, if-this-then-do. Before long they're typing real code, and they barely notice the jump.

  • Learn by making something that actually works
  • Blocks today, typed code tomorrow — at their own pace
  • Mistakes are part of it: build, break, fix, repeat
For grown-ups

The journey

From first click to shipped creation

Everyone moves at their own speed — here's the path most kids take.

🧩

Player → Maker

First blocks in Scratch. Build a game, move a robot. The "I made that!" moment.

🔧

Builder

Bigger projects. First lines of real code. Designing, tinkering and testing ideas.

⚙️

Coder

Typed languages like Python and Lua. Debugging like a pro. Making it properly work.

🚀

Creator

A finished game, robot or racer that's all their own — ready to show off and share.

Meet the founder

The person behind the club

Club Coders is run by someone who's spent his whole career getting young people excited about technology.

Peter (Brewer) Vitulli, founder of Club Coders

Hi, I'm Peter — a Computer Science and AI graduate, robotics research manager and STEM educator with over a decade of experience running coding masterclasses and outreach programmes for young people.

I've delivered sessions everywhere from primary schools to university level, working with the University of Birmingham, the Royal Institution and STEAM organisations across the country. That mix of education, research robotics, youth work and engineering shapes every Club Coders session. Hands-on, safe, inspiring and genuinely educational.

I started Club Coders to give children a fun, hands-on way into technology — building real robots, drones, cars, underwater vehicles and games, not just staring at a screen — and the confidence, curiosity and skills that last a lifetime. Alongside the club I also run SharedArea, a charity working to make education more accessible.

Holiday Workshops

The Royal Institution of Great Britain Holiday Workshops

Club Coders students with their robots on the staircase at the Royal Institution

Spend a week diving into the exciting world of robotics and artificial intelligence in this hands-on holiday workshop.

Guided by experts Peter (Brewer) Vitulli and Professor Rustam Stolkin, participants will explore both mechanical and computational aspects of robotics. Along the way, they'll discover how robots are used in real-world settings, from industry to cutting-edge research, drawing inspiration from the latest developments in the field.

Good questions

Parents ask us…

What ages is it for?+
Club Coders has Regular club sessions designed for 8–12s and one off extended masterclass sessions tailored for 13–16s.
Does my child need any experience?+
Not at all. Complete beginners are very welcome — most start with drag-and-drop blocks and build up from there at their own pace.
Do we need to bring a laptop or buy anything?+
Nope. We provide the laptops, robots, drones, cars and all the software. Just bring your child, a drink and a snack.
Can they try different activities?+
Yes! Robots, drones, cars and games run back-to-back on Sundays, so it's easy to come along to more than one and find what they love.
Is everyone welcome?+
Absolutely. We run inclusive, supervised sessions where every young person is supported to take part and have fun.
Are the drones safe indoors?+
Yes. We only fly small sub-250g drones in a supervised indoor space, and we teach sensible flying and safety from the start.
