Tech 4 Little Kids (ages 5-7)

Course Information

Tech 4 Little Kids is a computer coding, robotics and animation workshop (10am to 12 noon) for children aged 5-7 covering a variety of technology topics, with kids of all abilities being very much welcome.

Attendees include beginners (who have never done anything like this) all the way through to kids who have already taken their first steps in coding. Children who have attended this workshop in the past can attend again if they enjoyed it the last time: we tailor the coding challenges to build upon topics covered in previous sessions (please indicate previous attendance in booking notes).

This is an all-inclusive workshop, with Spark4Kids providing everything from the software and hardware that the children will use to healthy snacks and drinks – just drop your child off at 10am and pick them up at the end of the fun-filled workshop at 12 noon.

Activities

The workshop will involve various activities including mini-robotics(robot building), group coding (story-building) and basic animation (using code blocks).

The focus is on creating a fun and supportive environment in which children learn about various aspects of technology and coding.

The workshop is designed to keep the kids engaged during the sessions, and while the focus is on creating a fun and supportive environment in which children learn about various aspects of technology and coding, there will be sufficient breaks to ensure that the children spend some time away from the computer.

• In-Person Mornings (Typing): 10am – 12:30pm

Drop-Off and Collection

For in-person workshops, children are expected to be dropped off just before their session starts, and promptly collected at the stated end time above.

Further Information

Attending a Course Multiple Times

You can re-book your child onto the same Spark4Kids course multiple times if they wish to continue working through the course material. We are constantly updating our courses and there are always new coding challenges to tackle. We are also able to tailor coding challenges to suit your child if they have a clear idea as to what they would like to work on (kindly email us about this prior to the course starting).

Discounts for Siblings, Friends and Multiple Bookings

We offer discounts on bookings that feature multiple course registrations, whether they be for the same or different children. A discount of 10% is automatically applied to every subsequent course at Checkout.

Please be aware that to receive discounts all courses must feature together in the same shopping basket and be paid for at the same time. They do not apply if sessions for siblings or other multiple sessions are booked and paid for in separate transactions.

New! Group Discounts

We now support group bookings where you get a Spark4Kids Group Discount applied when you book as a group of two or more. We have always automatically applied discounts to orders for multiple course bookings for siblings – now we are extending this discount to general group bookings.
