Where gamers become game makers
Live Online Coding Club for Kids, Aged 6 to 16
One hour a week, live, in a group of no more than six children. Same day, same time, the same mentor and the same group of children every week — so your child is not starting again with strangers each time.
For children aged 6 to 16, from complete beginners upwards. Mentors are STEM-certified, DBS-checked and trained in supporting neurodivergent children.
£65 a month. No joining fee, no minimum term, cancel any time. The taster is free and needs no card.
What's Included:
- Never more than six children — grouped by age and stage, so your child is with others at a similar point
- The same mentor every week — someone who remembers what your child built last time, and how they like to work
- Daytime and evening slots — pick the hour that fits around school, and tell us if it stops working
- Miss a week? We move you — let us know and we will book your child into another slot that week. Nothing is lost, and there is nothing to catch up
- Support between sessions — mentors answer by text and video message during the week, not just in the hour
- A new game every week — something to build and hack that they have not made before
- Minecraft Mod Worlds — their own worlds to mod with real code, included at no extra cost
- Seasonal Game Jams — the whole club builds to one theme, then everyone plays what the others made
Our focus is on building practical, life-long skills like creativity, problem-solving and confidence, in a fun and exciting way, while creating a safe space where every child feels valued. We encourage creativity, independent coding, and problem solving so that our members can use their coding abilities in all aspects of life.
They level up as they go
Each level is a real step, not a sticker — and each one earns a STEM-certified certificate. In the Club most children complete Hacker and start on Modder.
SUPPORTING EVERY LEARNER
We're proud to be the go-to choice for families with neurodivergent children. Our mentors are trained to create an inclusive, patient environment where children with ADHD, autism, anxiety, or diverse learning needs truly thrive.
"I couldn't recommend this more. The support is outstanding! My son finally feels accepted, which is something money can't buy!"

Starting from Scratch?
Absolutely no coding experience needed! Our mentors are experts at teaching complete beginners. We start with visual, drag-and-drop coding (Scratch) before gradually introducing text-based languages when your child is ready.
After Your Free Session
We'll send you a personalised video showing how your child got on during their taster session. We'll then give you a call to discuss their progress and get your regular club booked in for the following week.
