Tactile Code is a not-for-profit initiative revealing the fun and power of creative programming to children. We provide guidance, resources and training for educators to teach creative coding.
Who is it for? ⇣
Tactile Code(TC) supports educators with teaching programming to children between 9 to 18 years old. This includes resources and training to help teachers tackle the new curriculum and methods to engage collaboration using coding for art, music and movement.

Programming is a taught alongside computational thinking to encourage a holistic approach to coding. Topics range from basic computing concepts to generative art and integrating physical objects with code. Open source platforms with a low threshold and no ceiling are used as the medium, these include Processing and Arduino.
Why is it important? ⇣
In the same way that basic reading and writing skills open up many worlds; exploring how code can integrate with sound, touch and vision can provide a positive shift in the way we view and apply technology. Turning our future generation from passive consumers into active producers.
