Our Learning Philosophy
Explore and Engage
Our instructors and facilitators engage the students in leading questions and provocations. This gives momentum for students to build awareness and frame a purpose in terms of the problems they want to solve or new areas they want to explore.
Solve and Create
Students start investigating the problem set and start the process of learning. Our instructors facilitate an enquiry based learning approach where students use the resources available to them to build their knowledge, come up with strategies and design solutions. They then create an external representation of their learning through developing combinations of computer programs, apps, digital arts, robotics and hardware.
Share and Reflect
Demoing work creates ownership and accountability and instils confidence. Also receiving audience feedback provides an outlet to reflect if the original objectives of the piece of work were met effectively.
Improve and Progress
Solving real-world problems is a continuous process. Following feedback from peers and instructors students are challenged to assess the success of their work and given an opportunity to make their solutions better and move forward.

Why Enroll?
Our schools are not teaching the right skills for the world of tomorrow
Technology has advanced rapidly over the past 10-years. Today, we can access the entire knowledge of humankind, speak with anyone instantly and work from anywhere just with a smartphone in our pocket. These changes are going to accelerate as computers become ever more powerful. Our children will have to harness these changes in order to thrive. Skills such as creativity, imagination, problem-solving skills and collaboration will be essential. Unfortunately, schools today are yet to emphasize these skills over traditional rote learning.
Computer Science teaches anybody to be creative!
Today’s technology is opening up a whole new platform for creativity and expression. Learning to code, build robots and apply design thinking enable new ways of sharing ideas and feeling. Expressing with technology requires critical thinking, planning, communicating and collaborating – all of which are 21st-century competencies. In a digital future, it is important to empower children to become creators with technology and not just consumers who watch videos or play video games on their devices.
Coding is for everything!
Learning to code is not just for those who are looking for a career in computer science. Coding enables Computational Thinking. It’s a powerful process that helps to approach real-world problems with real-world solutions taking in to account resource constraints. It fosters deconstruction, abstraction, logic, perseverance: attitudes that are highly valuable in a situation – whether in school or in the workplace
