ABOUT CODE CADETS

We're Building the Next Generation of Digital Creators.

Not just teaching children how to use technology — teaching them how to build with it.

Code Cadets helps young people explore coding, robotics and digital technology through engaging, hands-on learning experiences delivered in schools and communities across the UK.

OUR STORY

It Started With a Simple Idea. Make real computer science exciting and accessible to every child.

Code Cadets was founded by Jacqueline Kiani after more than 20 years in education and computer science. Having taught computing, developed extracurricular coding clubs and seen first-hand how children respond when technology becomes something they can create with — rather than simply consume — Code Cadets grew from a school club into something much bigger.

Today, our programmes bring coding, robotics and digital learning into schools and communities, giving children opportunities to experiment, build, solve problems and discover where technology can take them.

WHY WE EXIST

Technology Should Open Doors. Not Create Barriers.

As technology and AI reshape the world around us, digital skills are becoming foundational. But access to high-quality technology education isn't equal.

We want every child to have the opportunity to understand technology, experiment with it and ultimately learn how to create with it — regardless of background or previous experience.
