Learn to Code at home with FUZE4 Nintendo Switch

April 2020

The next few months represent so many challenges for young people stuck at home.  Trying to keep up with their education is perhaps the most challenging problem of all. Those with an interest in computing could find this especially difficult due to the lack of accessible resources and, potentially, with parents less likely to be knowledgeable in the subject.

Add to this how hard it is to stay motivated when there’s more than enough digital stimulation via streaming the latest TV shows, TikToks’ and social media interaction. And, what about all those awesome games that need to be played. Let’s face it – what chance does education have against all that!

How about learning to code, in line with the computing curriculum, by creating your own games that you can play, and even share with your friends.

Be social, learn to code, and play awesome video games all in one!
