About the program

Why kids love it

Coding is the new literacy, and it starts with play. Code Explorers (7–8) learn sequences, loops and logic by animating stories and games in Scratch. From 9, kids switch to real typed Python for Turtle art, quizzes and arcade games, and by 12–14 they are building apps with real data and a first taste of AI.

  1. 1

    First code

    Colorful Scratch blocks turn sequences, loops and events into animated stories and games.

  2. 2

    Real Python

    Kids type real code to draw Turtle art, write quizzes and build an arcade game.

  3. 3

    Real-world apps

    Data, APIs and app windows — kids build an app that solves a real problem.

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.
