We also explore game design principles, learning what makes games fun and how to create them. Your child will have opportunities to work on team projects, developing collaborative skills and learning to communicate ideas effectively.

I place a strong emphasis on critical thinking, helping your child develop the logical reasoning skills crucial for problem-solving. And of course, they'll gain confidence in using and understanding modern tech tools, boosting their overall technology literacy.
