Further Information
What is CodeUp?
CodeUp Chester is a mentoring program for adults who would like to learn how to code for free. Once a month we provide a workspace for people with no programming skills to come and learn the basics, with mentors available to answer your questions and help you on your way. Our sessions are also be suitable for people with basic skills who need support to develop them, and even for people with intermediate or advanced skills who just want to come along to a space where everyone is immersed in code! Where will the session be held?
CodeUp Chester meets at Storyhouse on Hunter Street. If you need help finding us, ask someone with a Storyhouse lanyard or t-shirt to point you in the right direction.
What do I need to bring with me?
Your own computer, but if you don't have one there will be a few provided for you.
