Early Birds
This is our kids beginner class, it is tailored for grades 1 to 4. Our facilitators, are ready to introduce the learners to programming concepts in a fun, interactive and practical way. Our target is to ensure that the learner expresses themselves in an environment that triggers their problem solving and innovative abilities. At this stage we introduce them to block based languages like Scratch with practical application in creation of animation and beginner games. The learner would require a tablet/Laptop and a stable internet connection.
Key Topics: Sequences, loops, events, conditionals, animation, game creation
Key Topics: Sequences, loops, events, conditionals, animation, game creation
Code Ninjas
This class is a beginner class for our older kids, it is tailored for grades 5 to 8. The focus is to introduce our learners to programing concepts in a fun, interactive and practical way but with more challenging concepts to our Early Birds class. Learners are expected to express themselves in an environment that triggers their problem solving and innovative abilities. Our key focus areas will include animation and beginner games using block based games like Scratch and Blockly. The learner would require a tablet/Laptop and a stable internet connection.

Code Cadets
This class is suitable for for older kids from grade 9 to 12 or any adult interested in beginning their journey into coding (a pre-assessment may be conducted). The focus is introduce our learners to more advanced programming concepts in a fun, interactive and practical way. We introduce them to creation of functional programming, creation of simple web application, and introduction to more advanced programming languages such as Python, C# and PHP. We delve into more deeper problem solving and challenge our learners to code as individuals as well as in development teams. The learner would require a Laptop/PC and a stable internet connection.
Key Topics: Variables and data types, operators, control structures, methods and functions, arrays and collections, game development

Code Warriors
This class is suitable for learners with some programming background or those who are passionate about beginning their journey into coding. This is a hands on practical class, with focus on development of web applications, and cross platform apps. The focus in this class is to create working apps that can be deployed for use in business or applications that can be deployed to iOS, android or windows machines for use by the public. Our facilitators are focused on turning dreams into reality, equipping each learner with tools to get the apps out there to solve real world problems. This class is suitable for school leavers, college or university students or IT professionals who want to learn a new programming language or who want an environment where they can express themselves and get that idea out there.
Key Deliverables: Real world project work, Source repository with apps deployed or ready for deployment.

Our Facilitators
Our team of facilitators are industry experts that have their day time jobs but are passionate to pass on the skills to the next generation of programmers. They are not just mentors in their rights but are software developers, business analysts, database administrators and architects with many years of experience, who will impart the skills acquired to make sure the learners are not overwhelmed by theory but engage the content in a fun and interactive way that ensure that the students are given value for money.
Learning Style
Our classes are designed to be 30% theory and 70% practical, we endeavor to stimulate problem solving by giving students enough tools for them to discover and solve the real world problems. Our facilitators support are there to stimulate creativity, passion and hard work. Each student will be required to finish their practical tasks. We understand that speed of learning differs from one student to another and ours is not to push content to finish but to group students accordingly so that each student is given their time to learn and express themselves in a supportive environment. Our main focus is on ensuring each student has enough tools to face any coding challenge.
Our online or group classes are designed to offer learners an opportunity to learn in a small group with ample time to engage the content.
