Founded to prepare children for the future today

Programmming

Creating games

Assembling robots

Computer classes for children, who are passionate about future technologies

IT program for children
In IT classes children learn to design websites, work with vector graphics software, develop games, build 3D models and program. All these skills will be immediately put into practice. While working on their projects, children will learn to work in a team, develop their soft skills, plan projects and achieve their goals.

Who is it for?

For kids
aged 7 to 9
Children will learn to work with text and vector editing, as well as creating animated videos. They will create presentations, pick up programming and even operate a virtual robot.
For teenagers
aged 10 to 11
Your kids will learn about computer technologies, programming, internet, and network security. They will create their own games and 2D/3D characters, learn how to create and control LEGO robots and Arduino gadgets.
For schoolchildren
aged 12 to 14
Our students create tech projects from ground up and develop professional gaming applications, web-sites and their own start-ups. All these skills will be applicable as the child grows, regardless of their speciality.

What we teach

Today, students study technology that will be relevant in future

Python programming
Programming is one of the main skills that will be in demand in future. We help our students take up programming from the very basics.
Develop a video-game design
Our students will learn how to create games using Unity, Kodu and Construct 3 and develop designs and animations for their own 2D and 3D projects.
Program an Artificial Intelligence and build robots
In classes children learn programming, assembling and testing robots, creating and operating AI.
Build websites and mobile apps
Students will build websites using one of the most popular programs – CMS Wordpress. They will design application logic for a smartphone using detectors, such as accelerometer, gyroscope and QR codes.
3D modelling and 3D printing
Students learn how to model 3D objects and learn how to create characters and locations. They learn the principles of 3D printing and how to prepare an object for printing on a 3D printer.
Develop applications for AR (Augmented Reality)
Children use cameras, graphs, animations and sounds to build VR an AR applications.
practice
Focus of practice
We do not have lectures and abstracts. We learn through practice. Each class is an adventure, where a child has fun, as well as learn something new and useful.
