Start small, dream big with Code Club: Become an Incubator Partner

Imagine places for young people to not just learn to use technology but to understand it, shape it, and build with it. That’s what you can create by partnering with the Raspberry Pi Foundation on Code Club, the global movement of computing clubs where school-age young people develop the confidence to create with digital technologies.

We’re looking for organisations worldwide to join us as new Incubator Partners and bring Code Club to young people in their regions.

What is the Incubator programme about?

Through our non-funded 12-month global Incubator programme, we support a diverse network of organisations to establish and grow free Code Clubs in their communities. By combining your local knowledge and community connections with our tried and tested projects, training, and support, you can build something that lasts and grows.

As a partner, you’ll join a global network of organisations all working toward the same goal: giving young people access to free, inclusive, and inspiring opportunities to learn coding and digital making.

“Many of our partners are non-profit and volunteer-led, driven by a real commitment to their communities. It’s incredibly inspiring — and we’re excited to keep growing this global network of partners so even more young people can benefit.” – Sonja Bienert, Senior Global Partnerships Manager 

By joining, you’ll get partner-specific access to events like global meetups, online workshops, and Coolest Projects, as well as materials to support your fundraising. Your Code Clubs will be able to use our wide range of free, creative projects for young people, including activities about AI, and activities that support clubs with limited devices. And you’ll be able to build collaborations with other partners in the network.

Real stories from our partners

Across the world, our partners are already transforming lives.

Full Stack Vision Foundation, Aruba

In Aruba, Full Stack Vision Foundation has grown Code Club from a single library session into a thriving network of ten clubs:

“Giving young people the ability to make, create, and sustain technological solutions is what the Caribbean wants.” – Bruce Harms, Founder and President of Full Stack Vision Foundation

By adapting projects to reflect local culture — like reimagining a Scratch project around aloe vera instead of sugar — the team at Full Stack Vision ensures young people see themselves in what they’re creating.

Orientations Training Centre, Sudan & Egypt

In Sudan and Egypt, Orientations Training Centre has reached over 450 active members through a mix of in-person and online clubs:

“I learned that coding is not just about computers – it’s about solving problems and helping people.” – Yasmin, Code Club attendee

“Start small but dream big. A Code Club can change lives – not just by teaching coding but by nurturing problem-solvers, innovators, and leaders for the future.” – Abdelmoneim Mohammed, CEO of Orientations Training Centre

Their work shows how getting creative with digital technology can unlock confidence, leadership, and ambition.

STEMUP Educational Foundation, Sri Lanka

In Sri Lanka, STEMUP Educational Foundation started with a single Code Club in a public library and has grown into a nationwide movement supported by more than 1,500 volunteers, reaching young people across both urban and rural communities.

Young people showcase their tech creations at Coolest Projects.

After attending a Coolest Projects event for young tech creators during the partner meetup we held in Malaysia, STEMUP brought the tech showcase to Sri Lanka for the first time in 2024, giving young people the chance to share their creations and connect with others. The event sparked huge excitement, with schools even organising transport so students could take part.

“That kind of energy… because they don’t have these opportunities to showcase what they have built, connect with like-minded people, connect with industry… I think that’s a really unique opportunity kids are having.” – Prabhath, founder of STEMUP Educational Foundation

A global movement powered by local leaders

Every partner brings something unique: local insight, cultural context, and a deep understanding of their community. Together, we’re building a global movement that is inclusive, creative, and full of possibility. 

“I feel part of something bigger — a worldwide movement where kids everywhere are learning to create with technology, not just consume it. Being a global partner means we can learn from what’s working in other countries, adapt those ideas to Bangladesh, and also contribute our own innovations back to the network. The global connection gives Code Club Bangladesh more recognition locally — it reassures schools, volunteers, and funders that we’re part of a trusted, established initiative.” – Code Club Bangladesh partner
