Smart Systems & Structured Thinking | Data, Objects, Interaction & Intelligence
About this Fast Track
This one-year course combines AC03 and AC04 at an accelerated pace, designed for children ready to code at a deeper level, thinking in systems, structuring data, and building logic that adapts, remembers and evolves.
Across six ambitious projects, your child will design everything from evolving digital pets and emotion-reactive avatars to combat arenas, chatbots and multi-game tournaments. Each module is carefully crafted to teach powerful coding concepts in a way that’s creative, practical, and outcome-driven.
They begin by learning how to structure and use data, storing information in lists, dictionaries and files, while building logic that can respond and update over time. As they progress, they’ll move into object-oriented programming, using classes and methods to build intelligent, modular systems that model real-world behaviour.
It’s a dynamic and demanding year that blends imagination with technical precision, laying the foundations for advanced software design, AI thinking and scalable code.
By the end of this FastTrack, your child will have built six diverse, data-driven, and object-oriented projects, confidently coding systems that are structured, responsive, and reusable, and will be ready for the more advanced concepts in Applied Coder Level 5.

Virtual learning, real results
We’re redefining the way children learn by using the latest virtual tools. Our state-of-the-art virtual learning platform enables tutor-led home study through innovative business-grade tools.
Your child can log in from anywhere and attend scheduled lessons using virtual tools to communicate with their tutor and class friends.
The FunTech Methodology
A learning
Designed
to engage
Engagement and technology are at the core of our teaching strategies, with small class sizes guided by technology subject specialists.
Curriculum
is the key
We have a structured, project-based curriculum that’s continuously refined by our in-house development team to keep it ahead of the curve.
Virtual learning,
real results
Using a state-of-the-art virtual learning platform, we deliver tutor-led classes in real-time with a 1:4 tutor student ratio.
FAQs
What does a virtual class mean?
A virtual class is a scheduled interactive online lesson delivered by FunTech.
All our virtual software is Citrix driven and so extremely safe
How does the virtual class work?
All students receive a virtual orientation lesson before the start of their course.
For each lesson, your child will receive an email invitation containing a link allowing them to log onto our virtual classroom. We schedule a maximum of four students who are predominately based in the UK, however, a few of our students have moved abroad due to parents work commitments and therefore log in from further afield.
The lessons themselves are the exact same as is delivered in a physical classroom. Through our virtual classroom environment, your child has the option to raise their hand, ask questions and also speak to the other students in their class (though we do have a mute all option '- just in case!)
FunTech teachers are able to pass control of their monitor to an individual student or share it amongst all the students. With permission, we can take control of a students' monitor to demonstrate concepts, share common mistakes or outstanding work as we would in a physical classroom.
All our virtual software is Citrix driven and so extremely safe
What do we need to join a virtual class?
Good internet connection, headphones with a microphone and a computer.
