Beginners usually create two or three projects each day, while more experienced coders work on deeper projects with our support.
Different projects run each day, so many families book multiple days.

Bigger concepts, richer projects, later hours, and a genuinely fun vibe.
“Coding is all about learning and having fun here.”
— TM, 14 · Qwerty student since 2020
Teens work on deeper programming projects using real tools and technologies.
No prior coding experience required. Beginners are welcome.
Projects are adapted so teens can work at their level and follow their interests.
When teens attend mixed-age days:
- They work on projects designed for their age
- They may occasionally be the only teen attending
- Our tutors ensure they feel challenged, respected and supported

I couldn’t be happier.
Unlike the other places we tried where the kids have to share, or it’s all a bit boring, or they keep repeating classes and projects and so on, this is like the best example of learning through play…
