After School Clubs

WhizzKids provides a range of after-school IT programs. Designed for children of all abilities, all clubs are designed to provide basic editing and file management skills and then progress quickly to more advanced topics such as design, layout, working with images, digital storytelling and programming. Courses are designed specifically for 8-15 year olds and using our mobile unit are delivered right in your own school, using our own laptops and software.

All courses are delivered in schools and participants attend for 1 hour a week for 10-12 weeks depending on length of term. Schools, parents or parent associations that would like to have these clubs run in their area should contact the Whizzkids Office to discuss.

Desktop Publishing

This focuses on layout and working with images. It starts with the creation of posters, cards etc and then advances to creating a full comic book. High end design but great fun.

Web Design

Week by week build up a website that focuses on your favourite topics. But be careful, in no time you could be in demand to create a site for your family, school or club!

Programming

For those of you that are a little more advanced, learning how to create your own screensaver, animation or video game is a school project that you will love. Learn what is happening behind the scenes and build a game from scratch that will impress your friends with your brilliance.

Digital Sorytelling

From using HTML pages to Scratch programming to stop-motion video there is huge scope for creativity. Projects can be quickfire, completed over one class or more detailed require two sessions. Unleash the power of your imagination.
