Code For Life was started in 2014 by a group of volunteers within Ocado Technology. Dedicated to create free, open source games to teach children how to program, it's an inspiring and forward thinking project that is now helping more than 80 000 users worldwide.

However, the website was entirely created by developers and a few years later, the need to improve both the look and feel and the usability of the main website arose.

James Holland, UX expert at Ocado, has been working on redesigning Code For Life. Florian Aucomte, software intern, has reworked most of the Front End of the project to make it happen with the help of Ruth Wall, Front end team lead at Ocado. They will talk about the teamwork and challenges behind refactoring the website, using UX research, github, Django/Python, JavaScript, Sass... But it's not finished: they will still be listening to users and more improvements are to be made.
