    Does my child need to know how to code?

    Not at all. Most kids start in Visual Coders or Robot Makers with no experience, and coaches pitch each challenge to where they are.

    What if we miss a class?

    Each class has a short recap sheet, and kids can drop into another session that week if there’s a spare seat.

    Where exactly are classes held?

    In community rooms in Belconnen, Tuggeranong, Woden and Gungahlin. The exact room is in your welcome email.
