At Creat!ve Gam!ng we use the highly popular game, Minecraft, as a tool to enable kids to create and build communities. Through the game we teach them how to setup and manage their own servers as well as how to protect their servers in order to be able to play in a safe environment. They also learn how to add modifications into the game and get a basic introduction to JAVA, which is the programming language that Minecraft is built on. Participants get a unique opportunity to connect with other players offline, while also learning important social and emotional skills through collaboration.

Kode G!rls - A Coding Course for Girls

Finally a code course for girls! We look forward to welcome girls at the age 10-14 to our tech course in Redmond.

15% Discount if you REGISTER NOW

At the course we will go through the fundamentals of coding and combine the knowledge of coding with self-image work. Words = Playfulness, cooperation and strength. This course has been especially designed by team of experts in Psychology, Gender Studies, Technology and Education with the mission to graduate tech-girls with clear and positive self-image.

Self-Esteem and Self-Image brought to a higher level

Experience has showed us that coding education can reinforce self-esteem and that girls who have learned how to code usually use that knowledge different from the boys. Girls at the age 10-13 are really open to work with their self-image and with the right education we can bring their self-image to a higher level. Girl’s self-image can fall rapidly at the teen age period (specially after the age of 13) and therefore it’s important to give them extra boost and strength before that time comes.
