Barclays have asked us to share with Mumsnetters their very latest feature on their Code Playground website which enables children to code a Father’s Day card. Have a go and let us know what you think!

Here’s what Barclays say, “We've built an online playground where kids can start to discover coding. It's a safe place where young explorers can try their hand at fun activities that are based on simple coding principles. We’re very excited to launch the new section of the Playground that gives kids the opportunity to code their very own personalised Fathers’ Day card.”

We’d like you to start getting creative with your DCs on the Code Playground website, click here to start. Once you’ve finished the card please save it as a jpeg and upload it onto this thread to share with us what you’ve created. We’d also love to hear a little more about why you chose that design, how old your DC is and your general thoughts about the Code Playground website and the process of making the card. Looking forward to seeing your designs!

Everyone who posts on this thread with a picture of their DCs Fathers Day card will be entered into a prize draw where 5 Mumsnetters will win a Kano (RRP £119.99), a build-it-yourself computer.

Thanks and good luck

AngelBlue12 and TwoLittleTerrors Barclays have now resolved the issue with Firefox and would like to say the following,

"Thank you for flagging the bug. The intro shows random people, backgrounds and pets. Being totally random it's exceptionally hard to test every possibility. We of course had rigorous testing of the site on all browsers. However, the random nature of the intro meant that we didn't happen to test firefox with a cat in the intro sequence. The cat had a small bug in the code that only affected firefox, and unfortunately we just by chance happened to miss this bug. The bug has now been fixed so any future attempts on Firefox should be fine."

@nightswift

DS who is 7 did this himself. He found it good fun to do.

We got confused with the link though on the site to upload the card - it takes you to the competition page and the form won't load - it doesn't like the age box (tried on Explorer and Chrome). If it also confusing as not clear whether to enter on the thread or via the link at the end of the card.

Thanks for the feedback, we'll get this looked at asap
