As we see it, we're all about two things - "seriously fun and inspiring computing courses for children" and "honesty".
We are an entrepreneurial tech education company on a mission to train as many children as possible to have the confidence to solve real-life problems using technology. We genuinely care about how well a child is learning, everything else is secondary.
We are simple people, honest and non-aggressive in our approach. We are also not afraid to try wacky ideas. Above all, we are learners ourselves.
