During the workshops kids discover computational, algorithmic and system thinking, programming, design and prototyping in the context of computer science. We strive to transform kids from passive users to inventors and creators, skills which are crucial for the future entrepreneurs and visionaries.
For classes we use different approaches and materials, from game-based platforms to professional grade tools and environment for some serious coding.
While searching for solutions during our workshops kids acquire higher order thinking skills like critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, communication and creativity.
