Welcome to Whizzkids

With computers and technology playing a bigger role in our everyday lives, Whizzkids has a range of programmes that open up the world of multimedia to boys and girls aged 8+. From our summer camps in top class Universities in Dublin, Cork, Limerick & Galway, to tailored programs delivered to you on your doorstep, we offer a range of programmes that will educate and entertain.

Whizzkids is delighted to partner with ForFás in the Discover Primary Science programme to promote the importance of technology to children. We have a wide range of presentations and workshops.
