Build to learn
Concepts arrive inside a real project — a game, a site, an app — never as dry theory.
The program · Ages 8–14
A clear path from first block to first app.
Three age-matched tracks, each built around real projects and taught live in classes of four. Kids don't just learn syntax — they learn to think, plan and build things they're genuinely proud of. Here's exactly what that looks like, year by year.
Our teaching approach
Project-first, always live
Every concept is introduced through something your child wants to build. Four principles shape every single lesson.
Mastery pacing
Kids move on when they're ready, not when a video ends. The path flexes to each learner.
Think out loud
Teachers coach problem-solving and debugging, so kids learn how to figure things out.
Ship & share
Every few weeks ends in a finished project your child can run, share and show off.

Not sure which fits? The free trial places them perfectly — no guesswork required.
Ages 8–10
Code Explorers
The joyful first step. Kids go from drag-and-drop blocks to typing their very first real code, building animations and simple games along the way.
Track 01 · Ages 8–10
Where curiosity becomes code
Perfect for total beginners. We start with visual blocks so there's an instant win, then gently introduce typed code so the leap feels natural, not scary.
- What they buildAnimated stories, a maze game, a clicker game and their first Python mini-program.
- Skills unlockedLoops, events, variables, simple conditionals and breaking big problems into small steps.
- PaceOne 45-min live class a week · typically 3–4 months to complete the track.
Track 02 · Ages 10–12
Real languages, real games
Now the training wheels come off. Learners write real Python and meet the building blocks of the web, designing and publishing games and interactive projects they can share with friends.
- What they buildA multi-level arcade game, a quiz app, a personal web page and a Roblox world in Lua.
- Skills unlockedFunctions, lists, debugging, HTML & CSS basics, and reading other people's code.
- PaceOne 45-min live class a week · typically 4–6 months to complete the track.
Ages 10–12
Game Builders
The confidence years. Real Python plus the basics of the web, all channelled into games and apps your child designs from scratch and publishes to share.
Ages 12–14
App & AI Creators
The portfolio years. JavaScript, real responsive websites and a safe, guided introduction to how AI actually works — building things that genuinely stand out.
Track 03 · Ages 12–14
From learner to maker
Teens build a real portfolio. They learn JavaScript, ship interactive websites and apps, and explore a gentle, age-appropriate intro to AI — graduating with projects worth showing off.
- What they buildAn interactive website, a to-do or budgeting app, a chatbot and a capstone project of their choice.
- Skills unlockedJavaScript, the DOM, working with APIs, version basics and how AI models make decisions.
- PaceOne or two 45-min live classes a week · an ongoing, portfolio-driven track.
The bigger picture
One continuous journey,
One continuous journey,
not three separate courses
Kids flow from one track to the next as they grow. Each stage builds directly on the last, so nothing is wasted and confidence compounds.
Spark
First wins with visual code build instant excitement. Coding becomes “the fun thing,” not homework.
Build
Real languages turn ideas into shareable games and sites. Your child starts calling themselves a coder.
Create
Apps, websites and AI projects form a genuine portfolio that impresses teachers and stands out.
Launch
By 14 they can plan and ship a project independently — a skill that pays off for the rest of their life.
Every plan includes
More than just classes
Weekly live classes
45-minute sessions with the same teacher and the same small crew, so kids feel safe to ask anything.
Progress dashboard
Track completed projects and skills unlocked, plus a plain-English recap email after every lesson.
Project portfolio
Everything your child builds is saved to a shareable portfolio they own — perfect for the proud-parent moment.
Practice challenges
Optional bite-size challenges between classes keep momentum going without ever feeling like homework.
Free rescheduling
Life happens. Move any class with a couple of clicks, and pause your plan whenever you need to.
Badges & certificates
Milestones are celebrated with badges and end-of-track certificates that keep motivation sky-high.
Curriculum questions
The details parents want
During the free trial, the teacher gauges your child's age, comfort and prior experience, then recommends the ideal starting track and pace. We'd rather start a touch easy and build confidence than overwhelm.
Absolutely. The journey is flexible. If your child falls in love with game design or wants to focus on web and apps, we adjust their path. Nothing is locked in.
Yes. Our AI lessons focus on understanding how AI works and using it responsibly, in a closed, teacher-guided environment with no open internet access. It's about literacy and creativity, with safety first.
Our curriculum is mapped to widely recognised computing frameworks including CSTA standards, and is reviewed termly by our education team. But our north star is simple: real skills and real projects your child is proud of.
