Teaching Methodology:

Our approach is project-based. We strongly believe that engaged, happy students are the best learners. Our projects have an end goal, and most are game based. We use coding to solve a problem. We have up to 8 student in this class, allowing the class to be interactive with lots of opportunities to ask questions and share knowledge. 

Students then progress on to our Intermediate and Advanced level classes where a more structured approach to coding is applied. 



What you would need:

Please make sure that the learner has downloaded and installed Minecraft Education Edition prior to joining the class (available for PC/Mac/iPAD). NOT suitable for tablets other than iPads. Two devices are ideal (one for zoom and the other to work on). Please check system requirements prior to booking with us if you're not sure.



Age Requirement: 

7 to 12

No prior coding experience necessary. Some basic Minecraft playing experience is required.



Parental Guidance:
