Kids can code too!

In this two hour 'AppJamming' session, kids (& parents!) will be guided through their first app coding experience in a fun and interactive workshop.

Designed to introduce the fundamentals of computer programming to familes through creativity, problem solving and communication the workshop will be led by our First Code instructor and their team.

In learning the fundamentals of coding with your child you will take the first steps with them as they begin a journey to master a skill set that is in high demand by the finance, tech and creative industries as smart phones and tablets make their way into every home.

Limited spaces are available so be sure to register today!
