COVID-19 Support for Schools and Children

The potential impact of the Coronavirus pandemic is of concern to everyone. We wanted to reassure you that the health and wellbeing of the children we work with and those of our staff is the highest priority for us.

We love sharing our excitement about the world of technology with all of the children in our classes and we are working hard to continue to share that in whatever way we can. Whether that is working with schools to provide COVID-secure clubs (find out more here) and classes or by delivering classes online we are committed to keeping the tech excitement alive!

After School STEM Clubs

Awesome after school computing clubs provided by ComputerXplorers are enjoyed each week by thousands of school children across the country.

The children have such fun they don't even realise just how much they are learning: programming, creativity, storytelling, collaboration, problem solving, animation, web design, coding, forensic science, logic, video game design - the list is endless!

Computing Support for Primary Schools

ComputerXplorers programmes can be offered in a variety of ways that can be tailored to the needs of the school and the children. We work flexibly to meet your needs.

Whether that means an added value solution for PPA cover or expert computing classes to cover planned absences, we can work to provide the appropriate level of curriculum support for you.

Teacher Training for Primary Schools

Community Computing Events

Looking for a fun and unusual way to encourage children and families to engage with your community events? Including hands-on, interactive activities using computing or technology to highlight your own theme is a real hit with children and adults of all ages.

The interest levels soar when you can use coding, robotics, 3D printing, Minecraft, film-making or engineering to tell your story.

Home School STEM Classes

Whether you are a parent or carer looking to supplement your child's home schooling STEM classes, or you are keen to find an opportunity for your home educated child to discover a new tech passion, ComputerXplorers can tailor the learning to suit your child.

Workshops and Theme Days

ComputerXplorers Computing Workshops can be run as full day or half day workshops.

They can be focused exclusively on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths) topics or can be tailored to work around specific curriculum themes being studied at school eg a period in history, the local environment etc or to support external initiatives eg Science Week, Safer Internet Day or particular groups of children eg Gifted and Talented.

Computing PPA Cover
