Saturday
Saturday 1:30 - 4:30pm. Can’t wait for the holidays and need a course now? Sign up for our After School or Saturday courses and get started with your computer learning now. Our term time classes tend to be smaller, and focused to what you want to learn. Let us know which of our programmes interest you, and we’ll do a course on it.
The programmes which lend themselves best to the term time structure are: Scratch, Python, Web Design, Discovery Computing, Creating 2D and 3D games (using Unity), that being said, if there is another course that appeals and you want to do during the term, contact us and we will see what we can do.
