A Typical After School Coding Class Session
Parents often ask what happens in a FunTech coding club. While content depends on the course, the structure follows a consistent and engaging rhythm:
- Welcome and recap: Tutors review what students learned in the last session and introduce the new challenge.
- Guided learning: Children follow interactive lessons, with plenty of opportunity to experiment and explore.
- Hands-on coding: Students build their own games, animations, or programs, with tutors providing expert support step by step.
- Sharing and feedback: Children showcase their progress to the other kids in class and receive encouragement and constructive guidance.
- Next steps: Each session ends with a clear sense of what comes next, so students stay motivated.
This structure ensures children feel supported, inspired, and eager to return the following week.
Virtual and In-Person Options
Virtual after school classes allow children to learn from the comfort of home, connecting with expert tutors in real time. These are interactive, engaging, and highly rated since their launch. They can also be so much better than in-person classes. For example, shy kids can interact with a tutor over messaging, rather than put their hand up.
