Number One Online Kids Coding and Computing Club. Open to students from around the world! Est. 2014
Almost every field of human endeavour relies more and more on software and software development for success. Other than coding and logical thinking being necessary skills, they’ll also give your child a chance to be well paid in the future and do some of the more exciting and challenging jobs likely to be around. It has been predicted that by 2025 there will likely be over 1 million unfilled jobs in the US alone that will depend on coding. Predicted by the Irish Management Institute (IMI) that by 2025 50% of present jobs will be automated.
Kids Coder Club is an online club. We teach children computer coding in a fun manner within a safe environment. Students can learn complex programming concepts with a fun graphical interface. We ensure that your children are continually exposed to the best coding practices.
Headed by lead mentor Mr. Trevor Murphy MSc.

Your children are now Digital Citizens. Understanding and education about the ever-evolving digital landscape in imperative!
What We Do – What is coding for kids?
Club Aim
The aim of this course is to take the fear out of the unknown and give the students an overview of the different elements of Computer Science, such as engineering, science, mathematics and technology. We ensure that the kids have fun while they learn life skills that could see them gain employment in this sector in the future.
Club Overview
Upon completing these extra curriculum programmes, students will have covered critical areas of computing and coding. Gaining an understanding of many different areas from operating systems, networking, file extensions and file sizes, binary usage, and command line usage whilst also covering algorithms, logic, syntax structures, debugging, file management, areas of ICT and Cyber Safety.
What is “Computing”?
Computing studies how computers and computer systems work, how they are constructed and programmed, and the foundations of information and computation. Not only is computing extraordinarily useful, but it is also intensely creative and creates a sense of satisfaction and excitement for the kids when they see their ideas come to life.
Coding
Coding is the process of using a programming language to get a computer to behave how you want it to. Every line of code tells the computer to do something, and a document full of lines of code is called a script. Each script is designed to carry out a job. Coding is what makes it possible to create applications and websites. Applications developed using coding include just about every piece of software we might use daily.
Benefits of Learning Coding
Learning to code empowers you to do many things you wouldn’t otherwise be able to do. These things include hand-crafting your own websites, becoming a career coder or even starting a technology business. Most importantly, you’ll be able to understand the technology shaping your world.
Computing is a Discipline
Mathematics and physics, similarly to computing, are disciplines, that explore foundational principles and ideas, such as algorithms for discovering the shortest paths in graphics or understanding approaches to flow controls. This differs from technology and skills such as the ability to use Excel, which aligns with ICT elements. ICT involves exploring and developing skills for using popular applications, thereafter developing in the direction of business processes in organisations.
Computing Is Not All About Computers
In all areas the student must understand the interaction of theory, design and experimentation. Computing is a mixture/blend of engineering, science, mathematics and technology. Computing is not just alone programming. Importance must be placed on the working knowledge, logic and sequencing. This in turn aids students develop personal, learning and problem-solving skills which will aid all elements of a modern school curriculum.
Private Kids Computing And Coding Club
Primary School – Beginners, Advanced, Advanced+, Adavnced++
Post-Primary – Beginners, Advanced, Advanced+, Adavnced++
Primary & Post Primary Classes:
We provide the perfect introduction to programming for primary school children. Children from second class up will progress as they learn how to program an animation or video game. Rather than writing out lines of code, children learn the fundamentals of computing and programming using Scratch – an easy-to-understand drag-and-drop programming method, along with HTML & CSS, Python, CS Unplugged, plus video and practical tutorials. If your kids enjoy playing video games, they will love creating them!
