welcome to Code club Aruba

Code Club Aruba is an initiative of a free, open, volunteer-led movement that organizes coding meetups for people of all ages. Coding, or computer programming, is the skill of taking a problem and creating a set of instructions — which we call a computer program — for a computer to solve that problem. Computer programs can be anything from simple ones that add two numbers together, all the way up to complex websites, video games, or apps. At a meetup, participants learn to develop these programs with the support of their fellow peers and volunteer mentors.

Our mission

At Code Club Aruba the youth are empowered with life skills that will help them succeed. As well as learning about teamwork and collaboration, participants are encouraged to present their projects and support their peers to develop their communication skills. Young adults build confidence and learn to trust in their own voices by directing their own learning and taking on the responsibility of peer-to-peer mentoring.

Why Learn To Code?

There are lots of good reasons to learn to code, not least of which are the economic and creative opportunities available to people with programming skills. However, Code Club its motivation is that digital technology has an ever-increasing role in how we live our lives, and most of us don’t really understand how it works.

The ability to create and design with this technology allows coders to shape the digital world rather than just living in a world built by others. Learning how to code gives participants a new creative outlet, one which they can use to express themselves while developing their resilience, problem-solving abilities, and logical thinking skills.

That is why at Code Club, we want every participant to have the opportunity to learn how to create with technology in fun, free, and social spaces.

Technology and coding as tools for positive change

Participants are encouraged to work on themes and projects that are of direct interest to them. Many people are highly motivated by projects focused on protecting the environment, sharing knowledge, solving a social problem, supporting a community, and themes around physical and mental wellbeing. Considering introducing projects that have a positive social, environmental, or community impact can help participants identify opportunities to positively influence the world around them.

Meetups

Code Club meetups take place regularly, which enables frequent opportunities for skill development and socialization. Not all young people will choose to attend every meetup, although they are encouraged to come regularly.
