Is there a make-up session if my child misses a class?

We offer a make up class but please have in mind that there is no two identical class. Please contact us and we will try to accommodate you to attend another class on another day. 

What happened if the class falls on major holidays?

We are open and operate year round, however, there are main holidays that we are closed, or the location we are operating is closed to observe the holidays. As each facility has a different working calendar we will notify the holidays to class members via emails and text messages.

Are the class contents the same for all age groups?

No. Each age group has a different syllabus and lessons, and each level of the same age group follows different lessons. There is no repetition in any of our courses. 

My child is young. Why should they learn coding now?

Coding is not only about computers. It teaches children how to think logically, solve problems, follow steps, test ideas, and keep trying after mistakes. These are life skills that help in school and future careers.

If AI is taking over coding, why should my child still learn it?

AI can write code, but it cannot replace human creativity, critical thinking, leadership, ethics, and innovation. The future belongs to people who know how to use AI tools wisely, ask smart questions, improve ideas, and build solutions. Children who understand coding will be the ones leading AI—not being replaced by it.

My child does not want to become a programmer. Is coding still useful?

Yes. Coding helps in many careers beyond software:

​

  • Engineering                                             Architecture

  • Medicine                                                    Robotics

  • Business                                                     Entrepreneurship

What is the biggest skill children need for the future?

  • Coding + Robotics + Engineering

  • Creativity + Critical Thinking
