Bright Sparks

This 24 week program, consisting of 3 courses, opens up the exciting world of technology.

We first Explore, then Build and finally Create, applying a range of skills that will become essential on the TechTrain learning journey. These skills grow confidence with technology, dexterity with the mouse and touch typing techniques, familiarity with virtual classroom environments, and learning basics of block coding, logic, and its use with animated projects and game creation in Scratch.

By the end of the program, students will be comfortable with computers, including touch-typing, and beginning to use logic based control to make their very own digital creations.

The Tech Discovery program, consisting of short 8-week courses, is a “taster menu” for our students, helping to identify their interests and ambitions.

These courses allow children to experience topics that they will later master as part of a developing tech-toolkit. Currently, we are offering Game Design Discovery, and 3D Design Discovery courses.

Students will learn how to create block code instructions to make animated stories, and gain confidence with art and design projects involving the Tinkercad program.

Our Bright Sparks will progress into even more fun and challenging platforms in the following bracket: Rising Stars.
