Minecraft Coding:
Don’t just let your children play Minecraft, get them coding with it! In this weekly class, the students will be taught to code using Minecraft, in a block-based programming language (Microsoft MakeCode).
Lego Robotics:
Students will build & program LEGO robots. They will learn to code as well. In addition to the basics of robotics, learn key engineering principles such as force and motion, gear ratios and aerodynamics. You will also develop your structural design skills. Learn about motors and sensors and their uses as well as programming them to make them do what you command!
ScratchJr + Lego Robotics:
This club introduces reception pupils to foundational computational thinking through practical, engaging activities.
Using ScratchJr and LEGO®️ WeDo 2.0, children will create simple programs with visual block coding, connecting code to real-world outcomes like movement, sound, and sensor-based reactions.
Children explore key early concepts including sequencing, events, repetition (loops), simple conditionals, and cause-and-effect logic, while developing collaboration, communication, fine motor skills, and resilience.
Coding with Sphero:
See your code come alive with Sphero, a powerful robot designed to inspire curiosity and creativity. Our challenges help participants grasp coding concepts in the most fun way ever!
Course participants learn about robotics and the fundamentals of programming. They use a drag and drop interface to create their code, but as they progress through the levels, they are able to use JavaScript, which is text based.
This class runs like an after school club. There is a class once a week every week at the same time.

No prior coding experience necessary.
Children use the Lego WeDo 2.0 and Lego Mindstorms EV3 to design robots to solve real world problems. They learn to code their robots in interactive challenges. In addition to the basics of robotics, children learn key engineering principles such as force and motion, gear ratios and aerodynamics.
Make games rather than play them using your own ideas! Become game developers for a day using a physical and virtual platform for creating video games in the classroom. When students build games, they become the writers, artists, designers, and developers of their own interactive stories.
Learn how to code in Java with Minecraft in a highly interactive learning environment!
See your code come alive with Sphero, a powerful robot designed to inspire curiosity and creativity. Our challenges help participants grasp coding concepts in the most fun way ever!
This course is designed for late primary to secondary aged students who are looking to learn to code using a proper “grown-up” programming language.
