Talk to us

Not at all. Code Explorers (7–8) learn with colorful Scratch blocks and puzzles, so there is very little typing. They only meet typed Python once they are ready, in the Python Builder level (9–11).

Any laptop or desktop with a keyboard and mouse. We use free tools like Scratch, Thonny and Replit and set them up together in the first class.

Yes — the program builds the core computational-thinking skills used in school computer science, math and coding clubs.

Small-group live classes have a maximum of 6 students, so every child gets individual attention.

Every class is recorded for your family, and we offer free make-up sessions so no one falls behind.
