- Your child's Coding Club account username. It's an email address.
- The password
About the student account
Your child brought or will bring home a handout letter from the Coding Club Academy sessions. It looks like the example to the right.
Your child’s Junior Coding Club username is basically an email address composed by the first name of your child separated with a dot „.“ and the first letter of the last name followed by „@codingclub.cc“.
Example: simon.b@codingclub.cc
It is a fully functional email address which is also the single sign-on (SSO) into the Microsoft Office 365 student account and other education applications.
The (secure) password
For now, check the password displayed on the handout letter your child received. Every student starts with a generic password. The students are obliged to change their password as soon as possible with their own creation.
First login to the Junior Coding Club
For the login page, click here: https://login.microsoft.com/
Type in the username / email address and you will recognise the Digitaltutor Coding Club welcome screen.
Now fill in the password.

- After a successful login you should see the Microsoft 365 Education dashboard of the Coding Club.
Edit the student account
Beneath the app tiles of the Office 365 dashboard are files, folders, groups and sites the students are working on.
To edit personal student related information, click in the top right corner on the students user name.
Changing the password
This is one of the first topics children should learn: The use of passwords and why they are important. We decided to require a strong policy about passwords even if this is a steep learning challenge for the young students. With the help of the Tutor or with the parents, children will be able to construct a secure password on a high standard soon.
Psst ... the password must contain at least 8 characters and 3 combinations of the following: capital and lowercase letters, numbers, or special characters (§$%&...) .
Train yourself to remember at least one password that you never, repeat: NEVER ever tell someone except your parents.
