Why do I only get stamps for some activities?

Every time you do an activity beyond the classroom, you can get a Children’s University Stamp. This means that another hour (or more!) is added to your record, and you’ll be one step closer to your next certificate.

There are two ways to get a Children’s University Stamp.

1. You can visit somewhere or take part in an activity that has been listed on our website. If you do this, you’ll be given a Stamp Code that you can submit online. A Stamp Code is a very brief secret code that is unique to every activity. These codes are short and easy to remember or write down, made up of just a colour and a 4-digit number.
2. You can tell us details of any other activity you’ve done by going through the ‘Record an activity’ process on your Dashboard.

When you add an activity by clicking ‘Record an activity’ you can make a record with just a title and a one-line description. This can be good for you to remember what you’ve done and will form part of your Learning Log, but it is not enough information to get a Children’s University Stamp. You can go to your Learning Log at any time and add further details and reflect on activities like this and this will then get you a Children’s University Stamp.
