Finalists announced!

Our Games Design competition is now closed. Thank-you to all schools who entered. We had lots of fantastic entries on the theme of Planet Protectors, and our finalists will soon be presenting their games at the Amazon offices in London.

2DIY 3D, the game creation tool from Purple Mash, has been updated! Explore new creative tools, 3D elements and coding features that bring pupil-made games to life.

Our Games Design competition is back! The 2026 Purple Mash Games Design Competition will give children the opportunity to showcase their creativity and skills in teams of 6 to create a game with the theme of Planet Protectors.

This year will be the last National Coding Week - it will run from 15th to 21st September and this year has the theme of AI.

In addition to the theme, there are a number of ways that schools can get involved: run a coding challenge for students, take part in the Digital skills Challenge or showcase how you are supporting coding in the school.
