Summer programming school
PROGRAMMING COURSES
Do you have children from 7 to 16 years of age who wish to have fun while acquiring some programming skills? In a pleasant environment, younger children will learn the basics of programming in Code or Scratch, while older children will build their own websites in Html. At the same time, they will have fun and learn through Minecraft games, find out more about AI, visit the Woop! Amusement Park during the day, and so much more.
Knowledge, fun, new friendships – all in one place. This year’s holiday will be unforgettable, so don’t hesitate to join us!
WHAT WILL PARTICIPANTS LEARN ABOUT IN ONE WEEK?
- They will learn the basics of programming or upgrade their existing knowledge, which depends on their prior knowledge and the course group that we will choose together.
- Throughout the week, they will develop logical thinking that is useful in various areas of life.
- They will create more than five of their own projects.
- They will broaden their horizons and make new friends.

OPINIONS OF OUR PARTICIPANTS AND THEIR PARENTS
- This class is useful because it stimulates your thinking. I would like to commend your class; the teachers know how to help the child achieve the desired result and motivate them. Thank you for a good experience. We will definitely recommend you to all our friends and acquaintances. Tina
- I would like for it to be a gamers’ school, haha. But I know it won’t be. Since I love working with computers, I would like to see more of similar classes in primary school. (L.Č., 11 years)
- It’s not like regular school, it’s much more fun. I love working with a computer, it’s fun to see something I’ve assembled or made myself. (M.L., 13 years)
- Our child was very happy with the experience and wants to know when he’ll be able to attend some more classes. And the kids also really bonded with each other, which is great. Keep up the good work😉 (M.M.)&
- This was a great experience for us, we had no issues and we would do it again. We would primarily like to commend the additional activities and the friendliness of the staff.
