How does
an online programming course for children and teenagers work?

What exactly are
our online course?

Every week, your child meets up with his or her new friends in a small private group. The instructor gives them creative challenges and helps them adopt good programming reflexes.

Our mission is to teach your children the skills of tomorrow: computer programming. Since 2016, we have helped more than 15,000 children. Our success is based on our team of caring instructors and our innovative educational programmes.

What software and hardware are needed?

COMPUTER
You need a PC or Mac with average performance, ie with a processor of at least 2 GHz (no Chromebook or tablet).

MANDATORY EQUIPMENT
Sufficient internet connection for the videoconference.
Webcam, microphone, headphones (e.g. phone headphones)
Mouse

SOFTWARE

All software is provided, by email. You will receive an installation guide, and an invitation to one of our technical support sessions.
For the Minecraft Coder course, it will be necessary to purchase the Minecraft Java Edition game beforehand (see the “Minecraft Curriculum” section).

For the Game Creator with Roblox Course, it will be necessary to download the free software on the official Roblox Studio site (see the “Game Creator with Roblox Course” section).

COMPUTER TYPE REQUIRED
All you need is a 2 GHz processor. In 99% of cases, you don’t have to worry about other performance parameters (RAM, graphics card…).

To know your Windows processor: Right click on the Start Menu, on the left of the task bar, and choose System.
To know your Mac processor: Choose Apple Menu (🍎) > About This Mac, top left.

To test the power of your computer

Some processors below 2 GHz are suitable.
The best test is simply to play Minecraft: If the game is smooth, your computer is suitable for all XP courses.
Download the free version of Minecraft (demo).

If you have to buy a computer

All you need is a $500 model, equipped for video conferencing (webcam, microphone).
Choose a PC over a Mac, if you have the choice.

Optional equipment

A 2nd screen can improve the experience as various tools will be running at the same time, but it is not a requirement for the Minecraft course.

Does my child have the level?

There are no prerequisites, but they must be used to using a computer.

Some aspects of game creation have been simplified to be accessible to beginners, but the principles and methods are those of professionals.

This course is for young people who love computers and are ready to take on technical challenges and use complex software.
