Why Mini Code Breakers?
Founding Team Expertise
We created this class out of a passion for teaching and coding. We wanted to combine these skills of ours to inspire the next generation.
Learn practical skills
We provide valuable skills to ensure children are creative when making real world applications.
Class size
We have a maximum of 12 children per session, which allows us to make our classes more personal.
Offline activities
We love our children to be creative and apply their knowledge in fun and exciting ways, away from the screen.
Make it fun and inspirational
We pride ourselves in our ability to have fun while also learning valuable skills at the same time.
Teamwork and Social Skills
We actively encourage team work in our sessions, as this not only develops new friendships, but it also develops communication and problem solving skills.
What we teach
Computer competency
Children are already familiar with iPads, mobile phones etc and therefore rarely have the opportunity to use laptops. The use of a mouse and physical keyboard will give them the foundational skills for the future.
Drawing & Animation
Encouraging children to learn visually and creatively makes our sessions fun, exciting and provide a foundation for imagination.
Project Work
We make projects over multiple lessons which allows our students to showcase their work and provides a real sense of accomplishment.
Web development
Having knowledge of how web pages are made and how websites are created will be invaluable for children's future.
Coding with Minecraft
Children love playing Minecraft, therefore we combine some elements of our classes with coding in games.
Logical thinking
Having the ability think logically, is an invaluable skill for any subject. We guide our classes to discover different solutions to coding tasks.
