Student and parent stories from UK
“My Class 5 child joined the AI in Everyday Life bootcamp at GeekashramJr and started creating websites, videos, posters, and simple AI agents. The sessions are simple, creative, and safe for Class 3-12 students, with live mentor guidance instead of only recorded videos.”
Questions parents in UK ask
Is this the same as school computer science?
It complements school computing. Students still get live projects, debugging help, and a portfolio — which most crowded classroom lessons cannot offer.
Do you offer coding classes after UK school hours?
Yes. We schedule around the UK school day in GMT in winter and BST in summer. 1:1 slots are the most flexible.
How much do coding classes for kids cost in the UK?
Explorers £5, Champions £7, Super Mentors £9 per session. GBP amounts are approximate local estimates.
What age should children in the UK start coding?
Many children start successfully around ages 7–9 (often Year 3). Interest and attention span matter more than a birthday.
