Activities

Coding is the language of the 21st century

Learning how to code has the effect of improving academic performance in math and reading. It also helps to develop essential skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity.

We teach Coding with 5 interactive

Interest-Based Methods. 

Method 1; Minecraft Game Design - Java

Kids rapidly create and deploy minecraft mods using a drag-and-drop coding on their own private Mine craft Java Edition server provided.


In this track, kids get to:

 

  • Build over 50 fun mods and deploy them with 1-Click

 

  • Design Spleef Arena, Paintball, and more multiplayer games

​​

  • Change the behaviour of entities

​​

  • Learn world manipulation using 3D geometry

​​

  • Play with friends on a private server

​​

  • Whether kids want to turn water into gold, build instant cities, or create multi-player games, the possibilities are limitless.

Method 2: Robotics & AR

Real-world programming engages and challenges kids in new ways as they use micro:bit, LEGO WeDo, sensors and drones to engineer incredible inventions and bring their creations to life.


This method kids will:

 

  • Learn to control drones and perform aerial stunts

 

  • Program real-world sensors with code

 

  • Design LED emojis, real-world thermometers, and more with the micro: bit

 

  • Build Augmented Reality versions of Fruit Ninja, Pong, and boxing

 

  • Construct LEGO robots and control them with you own app

Method 3: Game Design

Kids learn what it takes to make their own video game worlds as they play two immersive adventures, layout 2D game worlds, music, and game controls.


This method kids will:

 

  • Build their own versions of classic arcade games

 

  • Harness physics to simulate bouncing balls and realistic jumps

 

  • Handle user input using touch, mouse and keyboard events

 

  • Program fluid motion along x- and y-axes

 

  • Keep score using variables and lists

Method 4: Minecraft Modding Bedrock

Designed for Minecraft lovers who use Bedrock (Windows 10 or iPad), this track introduces an easy visual approach that turns your child's enthusiasm for Minecraft into a lifelong interest in learning and making.


These Method kids will:

 

  • Design skins, items, blocks, mods, and mobs

 

  • Model 3D creatures and modify their behaviours

 

  • Create mini-games

 

  • Build pyramids, design railways, and generate cities

 

  • Access and remix from millions of community resources

Method 5 Art & Music

Perfect for art and music lovers, this track offers a creative way to pursue interests in art, drawing, storytelling, animation, and music while reinforcing problem-solving, critical thinking, and STEM skills.

​

With this method, kids get to:

​

  • Design animated characters

​​

  • Experiment with geometric math art

​​

  • Learn to compose music with code

​​

  • Create animated birthday cards and comics

​​

  • Recreate popular physics-based games
