Code Club thinks children should have the opportunity to learn to code, no matter who they are or where they come from. At club sessions, young people use free, step-by-step project guides specially created by Code Club. Club organisers provide support to help the young people progress through our projects, to create games, animations, and web pages using Scratch, Python, or HTML/CSS. The Malvern Library hosts a Code Club each month, so come along to find out more and have a go.

Local paleontologist from e-fossils, Dr Mark O'Dell, will exhibit some of his fossil finds from the west of the Malvern Hills and in the Cotswolds. He'll also explain the tools he uses to carefully extract and clean samples, and he'll crack open a few nodules with the hope of finding some freshly exposed fossils. Mark can also answer questions you might have about your own fossil samples.

UBRacing is the University of Birmingham's Formula Student team and a founding partner of the international IMechE competition. This hugely successful project enables students to gain hands-on experience of a real life-engineering task by designing, building and racing a single-seater car from scratch each year. Recently, it merged with UBeRacing and now they aim to jointly build two cars each year: a combustion powered car and an electric car.
