All you need to know
Get your passport ready for the next stage of your learning adventure!
In Tots & Tech 2, kids discover new worlds in coding and robotics through a fun-filled combination of physical and on-screen challenges and activities.
Preschoolers are an energetic bunch.
Through unplugged activities we leverage the power of kinesthetic learning to channel that energy towards a play-based approach to learning about the world of tech.
With the help of their new friend, the award-winning Sammy the Robot, kids get building and programming together to help him overcome challenges and perform quests on Code Island.
Weaving in construction with concepts like sequencing – kids learn about programming concepts hands-on.
With content interspersed with play, teamwork and inquiry, there’s never a dull moment on Code Island.
Next, kids will be introduced to Hopscotch, a bite-sized block-based coding platform that allows kids to explore applying their imagination to code.
In acclimatising kids to a new programming environment and gradually building their literacy, they’ll create their own projects applying the tangible programming concepts they’ve learned, like conditionals, loops, and sequencing.
By the end of class, kids will not only have made a new robot friend and created their own animation or game they can share with their friends and family, but they’ll be all set to take on the world of Scratch and block-based coding.
Oh! The stuff you'll learn
Basic coding, building, and robotics through a synergistic, thematic combination of tangible and on-screen activities
Inspire confidence and familiarity with code by applying programming concepts with Hopscotch and Sammy the Robot
Use what you’ve learned to navigate fun challenges and quests around Code Island, developing important soft skills like teamwork, collaboration and communication along the way!
Life skills you'll learn
Creative Confidence
Logical Thinking
Presentation Skills
Problem Solving
Pedagogy
No lectures. No memorisation. No ONE right answer. Like real life, we're all about trying things out yourself, failing, figuring what went wrong & trying again. These are the skills & mindset that will last a lifetime and how we learn in real life. Let's get kids to learn how to learn. Because the kids who learn to learn become curious, inventive, resourceful human beings who solve real world problems to make a meaningful impact.
"This is the first time I signed my children up for the course. They enjoyed it and asked to go back again. The teacher has been patient and friendly with the kids to make the class a fun learning place."
"Both kids clearly enjoyed the camp and want to go back for more camps! The teacher led presentation at the end was a nice summary of their learnings."
"Hannah had fun. My other kids have gone for other coding camps but they like Saturday Kids best."

Your kid will love it
If your kid doesn't think it's the best thing ever after attending the first 2 days of holiday camps (or first 3 weeks of term classes), and would like to withdraw, we'll issue you a 50% credit note of the amount paid.
