Q: What is Coding Strings?
A: Coding Strings is a fun and engaging coding club based in Dubai, specifically designed for children aged 5 to 12. Our club aims to introduce kids to the world of coding through fun and interactive learning experiences. We currently run weekly classes every Saturday during and out of the school term.

Q: What weekly class is suitable for my child?
A: We offer three classes depending on the age of your child.
– Early Explorers: for 5 to 6 year olds
– Young Creators: for 7 to 9 years old
– Future Innovators: for 10 to 12 years old

Q: Do you offer any trial classes?
A: Yes, we do offer trial classes! We understand the importance of ensuring that our coding club is the right fit for your child. Trial classes provide an opportunity for your child to experience our teaching methods and engaging curriculum firsthand. The fee for a trial class is 180 AED and this is deductible from the term if you choose to enrol your child. Get in touch here and we’ll schedule you to join one of our upcoming classes.

Q: When and where are your weekly classes held?
A: Our classes are held every Saturday between 9am and 2pm at Careem HQ 📌 We also hold some of our classes at other schools across Dubai. See our schedule for up to date times and locations.

Q: Does my child need any prior coding experience?
A: No prior coding experience is required! Our programs are designed to accommodate beginners with no coding background. We provide a structured learning environment that supports gradual skill development.

Q: What coding languages are taught?
A: We introduce kids to coding concepts using languages such as ScratchJr, Scratch, and Lego Education, which are visual programming languages ideal for beginners. For more seasoned students, we introduce languages like Python to help them transition to text-based coding.

Q: What does my child need to bring?
A: We’ll provide all the necessary equipment for your child! We also ask parents to pack a water bottle for the child.

Q: How are the classes structured?
A: Our classes are designed to be interactive and hands-on. Each session includes a mix of instructional segments, practical coding exercises, and collaborative projects to ensure that kids grasp concepts effectively while having fun.

Q: What is the class duration and frequency?
A: Classes are currently held once on Saturdays with each session lasting around an hour depending on the age group.

Q: Is there a minimum age requirement for enrolment?
A: Yes, our programs are tailored for kids aged 5 to 12. We group students based on their age to ensure that the curriculum is developmentally appropriate.

Q: Do you organise any corporate workshops?
A: Yes, we sure do. Please send us an email at info@codingstrings.com and give us a brief background on what kind of program you would like to run and one of our team members will be in touch!

Q: What if my child misses a class in the term?
We offer one makeup class per term for students who have missed due to illness or other unavoidable circumstances. Given the structure of our classes, makeup sessions may be arranged outside of the regular term or our standard class hours.

If you have any more questions, feel free to reach out to us via email or phone. We’re excited to embark on this coding journey with your child at Coding Strings!
