About us
QwertyKids is Australia’s premier after-school kids’ coding campus where young people get hands-on with some of the most innovative technology from around the world.
Hands-on Project Based Kids Coding
At QwertyKids children discover completely different ways to code. Here are just a few examples of the many projects we create:
- Robots that can detect your age;
- Intelligent systems which see, speak, and understand;
- Holograms you can hold in your hand;
- Microcomputers that’ll even water your plants.
We’re regularly adding new tools and technology as we watch our students’ skills grow. Every new term and coding camp we aim to inspire children with something brand new to code.
Get the drift about the basics of coding for kids and explore some of the languages and tools we use in our Grown-up’s Guide to Coding.
The team at Qwerty’s are great at helping kids find fun in digital proficiency, with cutting edge class content.
Project Based Learning
It’s different to following a curriculum
After an engaging introduction to the fundamentals of coding, children are encouraged to explore different programming terrain and to follow their own coding dreams.
We acquaint children with an extensive range of programming languages and tools and mentor them to develop their skills through project work.
We strive to develop lifelong competencies along with a passion for learning and taking on new challenges.
QwertyKids follows expert guidelines from the world’s best kids coding institutions like MIT’s Lifelong Kindergarten and the Raspberry Pi Foundation.

Skills Development
QwertyKids fosters an atmosphere of curiosity, creativity, and collaboration where young people learn so much more than how to code and master new technology.
Children build confidence and resilience as they’re encouraged to:-
- Think creatively;
- Work collaboratively;
- Reason systematically;
- Solve complex problems;
- Set and achieve goals;
- Make, share, and present ideas.
Meet our Code Captain
Dannielle Chun (‘DC’)
- 20+ years of high-end professional coding experience
- Working with Children Check: WWC0770109E
- Teaching Certificate, Cambridge University
- Education and Care First Aid, St John
- Bachelor of Media, Macquarie University
DC’S love for technology began when she met Merlin the Electronic Wizard, one of the earliest handheld games, when she was just 9 years old. It’s been an amazing adventure ever since…
She began her coding career as a Web Developer for multi-award-winning ABC Science Online where she moderated the forum on which the word ‘selfie’ was published for the very first time.
Along with programming websites for Dr Karl Kruszelnicki and the Surfing Scientist, DC coded the first-ever podcasts and videos to appear online for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
More recently she was the Digital Lead for Microsoft Australia and managed their IT Pro, Developer, and Education channels.
During her tenure at Microsoft, DC produced a range of innovative apps in Australia that went onto be adopted by other Microsoft hubs around the world.
After over twenty years as a professional programmer, DC founded QwertyKids in 2015 where her coding adventure has taken on new highs every day!
Wonderful way to introduce children to coding. Dannielle is amazing. Offers great school holiday camps and a variety of after school programs. My kids thoroughly enjoyed their classes. They love this place and love the instructor.
