Coding is the new literacy! Children interact with computers and technology every day. Our Code for Kids classes are designed to tap into their natural creativity, imagination and interests while teaching them about creative computing and giving them the skills to design, plan and build their own interactive apps and media.
This is a four week course with one hour long classes. Using a provided tablet, young children (5 - 7) will learn how to program their own interactive stories and games. In the process, they learn to solve problems, design projects, and express themselves creatively.
Each week we introduce a new concept and teach new skills that support young people's development as computational thinkers.
A tablet and a design journal will be provided for each child.
4 week course costs €50.
We recommend this course for 5 to 7 year olds, for other age groups please see here.
Our classes are taught by Alan Joyce who has been developing software for nearly 20 years. Alan co-founded and ran the software development company Engine Solutions for 13 years and is passionate about software development and also coaches junior football.
