MIT's Scratch programming software is a fantastic tool, and has become hugely popular over the last two years. It is now taught widely as part of key stage 1 and 2 computing in schools.
in August 2013, we collaborated with Neil Ford from Code Club to run a pilot week of activities combining coding with Exploring Senses toy hacking, robot relays, and electronics building activities called "Code for Kids" (1.0) blogs - (day 1, day 2, day 3 day 4, day 5)
During our R&D period, we have run two more events building on this :
In February half term, we ran a 3 day series of workshops with young people at Brighton Youth center called, yep, you guessed it.... "Code For Kids 2.0" Thanks to Sussex Community Foundation these workshops were free for all to attend. Here is a blog post documenting the project

Also, throughout June and July, we provided a series of further creative coding workshops at Brighton Youth Center's Junior Club, documented in a blog post here
