CODING SUMMER CAMPS 2025
Coding Camps for Kids & TEENAGERS (Ages 9-18)
Learn to Code!
Open to coders of all skill levels (beginner-advanced). Our tutors tailor camp content to each student’s existing coding experience & ability!
This summer, students discover the exciting world of coding through languages including Java, Scratch and more. Whether it’s your first time coding with us or you’re a returning student from a current or previous term, our structured program is delivered by expert tutors whose core focus is your child’s coding skill development!
SUMMER CAMP CONTENT | At A GLANCE
This summer, our Fresher group will explore Scratch, a beginner-friendly platform designed to teach core coding fundamentals through engaging, creative projects and games. Meanwhile, our Senior group will dive into our Processing pathway, mastering advanced coding skills through hands-on, challenging projects.
For our Junior campers, the choice is theirs—build a strong foundation with Scratch or take on the more advanced Processing track, depending on their skill level and interest. Whether they’re crafting their first interactive project or tackling complex coding concepts, every student will experience a structured, skill-building journey tailored to their growth!
Scratch Camp
Our Fresher and Junior students will dive into Scratch, the perfect tool for beginners to explore coding fundamentals. They’ll create digital projects, games, and more. While those with prior experience will get the chance to build on their existing skills, working on more advanced projects over the summer. It’s a fun, creative way to learn and grow!
Processing Camp
Our older students will explore our Processing pathway through hands-on, creative projects designed to challenge and inspire. They’ll deepen coding skills, solve problems, and collaborate in a fun, innovative environment—perfect for levelling up their programming expertise.
Small Groups
With just 5-7 students in most breakout rooms, you’ll have a chance to get to know your tutor and your classmates. You’ll also have plenty of help as you start your journey to mastering the world of coding!
Live Tutors
Our team of expert tutors include our full time academic staff as well as some of the top computer science and computer engineering students from Ireland’s leading colleges (e.g. Trinity College, UCD, DCU, UCC, and NUI Maynooth, to name but a few!)
Fun Content
Clear code samples are presented every step of the way. Tasks are fun, projects are engaging, and the handouts are full of extra challenges and tips from top coders. There’s something for everyone, no matter if you’re starting in our junior group or setting yourself up for leaving cert or university success in one of our senior groups.
WHAT WILL MY CHILD LEARN?
Whether you’re a total beginner or have some existing coding experience, we make sure that students enter our Pathway to Computer Science program at a level that is appropriate to them.
BASIC - ADVANCED
CODING
Students ages 7-10 start coding with Scratch (block based programming), while students ages 10+ will dive straight into Processing (Java based programming) - learning to create digital projects, games, and more!
PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS
Coding helps to develop brainstorming and decision-making skills. These are priceless life skills, and learning them through coding helps them to really come alive!
FUNCTIONAL
LITERACY
We teach basic keyboard skills, desktop management, window resizing, and all the other basic controls a child will need.
COMPUTATIONAL
THINKING
Computational thinking underpins everything we do. We teach students to take a complex problem, understand each part of it and develop possible solutions.
DIGITAL
CREATIVITY
Learn how to use digital tools and technologies to explore creative ideas and new ways of displaying your ideas, research, or work.
ONLINE WELLBEING
Students will explore ways to manage their online wellbeing and build digital resilience while exploring the internet.
CAN I JOIN FROM OUTSIDE OF IRELAND?
Yes! Our online coding classes are open to anyone with an internet connection, an interest in technology, and having fun! We have students coding from Ireland, Europe, the US, and the Middle-East, to name but a few.

Yes! Each of our tutors puts their own spin on the summer coding camp they’re leading, so no two weeks at our summer camps are ever quite the same. Students who have coded with us before will really be able to hone their skills and take on new challenges this summer! The beauty of our offering is that regardless of what stage of coding your child is at, there is nearly always a next step or challenge waiting for them along our 10-grade Pathway to Computer Science curriculum. The long term vision is that your child will progress through our pathway, building confidence and knowledge as they complete each grade, developing computer literacy, computational thinking and 21st century skills (not just creating computer programmers!).

We encourage students (especially beginners & novice coders) to sign up for a 2+ week summer camp, as this will give them a really solid learning foundation. Moreover, students usually love the first week and want to do another one (or three!) but then can't, because we're already sold out and can't offer a place for the extra weeks. We offer a flexible refund policy, so if at any stage you decide the summer camp just isn't working out, we're always happy to find a solution that works for you!

All students will need access to a Windows, Mac or Linux computer/laptop. A working webcam is also required (a built-in laptop/computer webcam is fine!) Please note: iPads/Tablets/Chromebooks cannot be used for our camps.

Our HQ is in Dublin, Ireland - but as our classes are held in a virtual classroom, you can join our coding classes from just about anywhere!
