Intro to Coding
The start of a STEAM journey. No previous knowledge is necessary.
- Introduction to STEAM
- Variables, input and output
- Lists and loops
- Boolean maths and conditional statements
- Logical operators
- Turtle and random modules
- Functions
Software Pathway
From first code to ambitious technical projects
The Software pathway develops coding and software-building skills through personalised projects, real languages and an appropriate level of challenge.
- Ages 6+
- Python and JavaScript
- Beginner to advanced
- Personalised progression
The Software pathway focuses on coding and development, while the Hardware pathway focuses on robotics and electronics. These outlines are a guide: every session is personalised, and mentors add or adapt topics to fit the student. We use languages such as Python and JavaScript, but can mentor in any language.
Core Coding Journey
Progress at the level that fits
Students begin with the foundations they need, then advance toward deeper Computer Science and independent work.
Intermediate STEAM Coding
A solid technical foundation following the CodingSTEAM methodology. Previous knowledge is necessary.
- Functional programming
- Scope and namespaces
- Flow of execution
- Modularity
- Documentation and style
- Objects and type systems
- Built-in Python collections
- Exceptions
- Classes and object-oriented programming
Advanced STEAM Coding
For students with strong foundations who want advanced Computer Science, portfolio guidance and interview preparation.
- Advanced algorithms and data structures
- Machine learning and artificial intelligence
- Full-stack web and mobile development
- Software architecture and project management
- Cybersecurity and distributed systems
- Game development and 3D graphics
- Robotics and embedded systems
- Cloud computing and virtualisation
- Blockchain and smart contracts
- Interview preparation and portfolio creation
Specialisation Example
