Our Online Program

Our Online Programs will run in 2-week cycles with every registration covering your child's participation for both weeks. We also offer full flexibility with dates in the event that your child can't attend two consecutive weeks. Simply select two different weeks that suits your schedule!

At the end of the program, your child's work will be submitted to the NCFE representatives. After approval, your child will be awarded with a NCFE Level 1 Award.

Our NCFE accredited course will teach students how to create their very own games using the powerful language of Python. Did you know that some of the biggest tech giants, including Microsoft, NASA, Google, Facebook, and Netflix, all use Python in their development processes?

By the end of the course, your child will have completed multiple projects and games that they can proudly share with friends and family. Plus, these projects will make a great addition to any school or college application! Not only will this course enhance your child's coding abilities, but it will also help to sharpen their soft skills, such as creative thinking, problem-solving, and self-confidence.

The only camp my daughter enjoyed

"The quality of teaching was very good and they clearly had a passion for teaching and contributing. My daughter has attended many summer camps over the years and this is the only one that she enjoyed. I would happily recommend STEM for Kids programs to other parents!''

Parent of one of our camp students
We hope to be back!

Lots of things to do and we hope to be back. Thank you to Miss Raghad and the other teachers who were very friendly, and sent through daily photos. Thanks very much.

Parent of one of our camp students
Great Experience!

Great experience! Positive everyday. Our son confident so we knew settling would be fine. But he enjoyed camp overall and is looking forward to attending again.

Parent of one of our camp students

Everything was perfect!

My boys really enjoyed going to the classes and could not wait to start each morning. The loved the building and programming - so much so that we struggled to get them out of the door each afternoon!

Parent of one of our camp students
The most valuable lesson was teamwork

My son enjoyed the coding and would come home and discuss the projects he worked on. I think he enjoyed working with the robots the most.

Parent of one of our camp students
She wanted to be prepared!

It was a really fun experience for my child. She looked forward to attending each day and before we left home, checked to see what was scheduled for the day to see if the experiment was possible! Every day she told us about what she had learned.
