Online Classes
Learning never stops! Through the miracle of technology kids can continue to learn coding, robotics and 3D design from the comfort of their homes
Why STEAM?
Development of Science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) skills at all stages of life will inspire curiosity and creativity and drive innovation and growth.
Through an exciting and engaging STEAM education, learners of all ages can acquire skills that will give them an edge – so they can be smarter and more innovative, and use new and emerging technologies to solve problems and extend their knowledge and understanding.
By adding the element of art to STEM-based thinking, educators believe that students can use both sides of their brain—analytical and creative— to develop tomorrow’s best thinkers.
Online classes benefits
With technology getting better and better online classes and remote learning is becoming easier than ever. Kids can continue their learning journey anywhere!
Learn anywhere
No need to drive the kids to and from a venue. Learning is done from the comfort of your home. All you need is a laptop and an internet connection
Never stop learning
Just because our day to day lives are different doesn’t mean we need to stop learning. Having kids attend these types of activities brings a form of routine and normality to their lives
After class support
Kids will get access to a recording of the class to refer back to. Instructors also follow up after the class with extra challenges and answers to any questions kids or parents might have
FAQs
To attend our online classes you need:
– A laptop or PC
– An Internet connection
– A comfortable desk and chair
– A curious mind which loves to learn!
Our online classes are conducted over Zoom.
Zoom is a video conferencing platform with advanced features that help us in running an interactive online class.
This guide provides more information about Zoom.
Our online classes are suitable for children aged between 7 and 12 years old.
We will allow kids aged 6 and a half years old to join if they are confident using a laptop and do not require constant assistance from their parents.
Coding
For our online coding class kids will start off the basics using Scratch.
Scratch is a visual programming language developed by MIT for the purpose of teaching kids how to code.
Kids will build their own games and animations through hands-on projects that teach them coding concepts and fundamentals.
Robotics
For our robotics class kids will learn the basics of robotics and how to code them using Arduino and circuits in Tinkercad.
Tinkercad is a free, easy-to-use app for 3D design, electronics, and coding. It’s used by teachers, kids, hobbyists, and designers to imagine, design, and make anything!
3D Design
For our 3D Design class kids will design 3D models in Tinkercad.
Tinkercad is a free, easy-to-use app for 3D design, electronics, and coding. It’s used by teachers, kids, hobbyists, and designers to imagine, design, and make anything!
We don’t recommend kids use iPad for 3 reasons:
1. In some programs keyboard shortcuts are needed and these cannot be done in an iPad.
2. It’s not easy for kids to switch between the coding program and the video chat.
3. The Zoom iPad app does not allow for remote screen control which makes it difficult for us to help your child if there are issues.
If you have an external keyboard for your iPad and your child is comfortable with switching between apps on an iPad then it’s ok to use it.
You will receive an email with the instructions and the Zoom link, 1 day before the online class to ensure that it runs as smoothly as possible. Contact us if you have any questions.
Our classes will start promptly on time, but if you’re running a little late, make sure you enter the class muted and listen carefully to the instructor who will follow up with you soon.
Don’t worry! You’ll get access to the recording of the class and get the instructor support later on.
Contact us if your child cannot attend for any reason.
2 days notice is required for cancelling a booking. If cancelled before 2 days a full refund is issued.
In case of technical difficulties that could not be resolved during the class we will issue a full refund.
