Welcome to our Coding & Robotics program! Over the first 18 months, you’ll explore fun, hands-on activities that introduce computers, simple coding, and playful robotics. You will strengthen your digital literacy, learn safe internet practices, and gradually move into more advanced coding tools. In the final 6 months, you’ll develop a capstone project that demonstrates your new skills.
At the end of the programme, you will be presented with a certificate of completion which will be useful to your future.
Here’s what you’ll need to get started:

• A laptop (Windows, macOS, or Chromebook) with 4GB+ RAM.
• A stable internet connection for lessons and collaborative tasks.
• A free Scratch account (scratch.mit.edu)—we’ll introduce more coding tools as you progress.
• A micro:bit for robotics practicals (purchased separately), so you can get hands-on experience with sensors and programming.

We look forward to helping you gain confidence in technology and preparing you for more advanced coding down the line!
