What is the AAC Code Club?

Activity Shoulder Patch for NSW AAC Code Club

Code Club is an elective activity for ALL cadets in NSW 1st and 2nd Brigades. You’ll learn to code starting from basic principles, and if you’re already familiar with code, we’ll get you started on more advanced projects. Not only could coding skills lead to a rewarding career in tech, the Australian Defence Force (ADF) also is getting serious about the cyber domain, and so it’s a great time for cadets to follow that lead and upskill in code!

AAC Code Club projects include Python, HTML/CSS, Scratch, micro:bit, Raspberry Pi, Blender, Unity, and more

What happens next after Code Club?

STEM Electives in NSW AAC Bde

You may be invited to participate in future STEM elective courses and activities as a member of Directing Staff (DS). You may also be eligible for a specialist promotion to a higher rank.

PECAN+ Capture The Flag (CTF) competition

PECAN+ is a highly competitive, team-based cybersecurity competition held annually, in which cadets can participate as AAC teams. You'll apply concepts that you learned from Code Club, when exploring HTML web pages, visualising data, or writing scripts, to uncover the "flag" before other teams find it!

Moonhack

Moonhack is a national coding competition open to members of Code Clubs (such as yourselves, when you get involved in AAC Code Club!). It's not time-restricted, and is based on completing and submitting a code project. Code Club cadets are strongly encouraged to enter into Moonhack, and cadets who score highly will be recognised within the AAC!

Regional STEM Champion

As the senior technologist cadet in NSW AAC Brigade, the Regional STEM Champion (CUO or CDTWO1) is a new Brigade-level cadet role that is responsible for advocating and promoting STEM electives in AAC training. Completing the Code Club program is a great way to demonstrate your suitability for the RSC role.
