ClickSafe Club was founded to tackle a pressing challenge in our community: the vulnerability of young people to online risks, the widening gap in STEM attainment, and the low interest in technology-driven careers,  particularly among underrepresented and underserved groups.

We recognised that disparities in STEM education were leaving too many children behind. At the same time, misconceptions and lack of exposure often meant parents undervalued STEM, unknowingly closing doors to opportunities in a rapidly evolving, tech-driven world.

Crucially, we understand that children can begin to make decisions about whether they “belong” in science as early as the age of 5 to 7. Without early exposure to relatable role models, hands-on learning, and encouragement, many young people,  particularly from Global Majority, low-income, and SEND backgrounds, begin to internalise the belief that STEM isn’t “for them.”

We work to change that by building science capital,  helping children and their families see science, engineering, and technology as relevant, accessible, and achievable parts of their everyday lives.

​

Our Mission

At ClickSafe Club, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to explore, create, and innovate with technology.

What started as a grassroots community initiative has grown into an education technology organisation that blends community values with cutting-edge tools.

 

Our mission is simple:

• Open access to digital, coding, and engineering skills, while teaching online safety

• Inspire creativity through coding, robotics, and design

• Build confidence so young people can pursue STEM pathways and future careers

• Increase science capital and STEM identity, especially in children from communities historically excluded from these fields

We focus especially on underrepresented and underserved communities, ensuring no child is left behind in the digital revolution.

Our Approach

We combine community empowerment with EdTech innovation by:

• Running coding and robotics workshops using Microbit, Python, LEGO Education, and Raspberry Pi

• Offering engineering and maker challenges to foster problem-solving and creativity

• Embedding digital literacy and online safety, helping children not only use technology but also create with it responsibly

• Encouraging youth leadership and volunteering, ensuring young people have a voice in shaping our programmes and inspiring their peers

• Supporting families and schools to see STEM as something children can succeed in,  not just academically, but as a future they can belong to.
