What is a trial class and what happens during the hour?
A free coding trial class is a zero-risk 60-minute taster session designed to introduce children aged 7–17 to structured technology education. Rather than listening to a sales presentation or watching passive video demonstrations, your child steps directly into the role of a digital creator.
From the moment the session begins, an experienced technology coach guides a small cohort of students through the step-by-step creation of an original software project.
Here is what happens during the 60-minute session:
- First 10 Minutes — Welcome & Setup: The coach greets the students, introduces the session goal, and verifies that software tools are ready.
- Next 35 Minutes — Guided Hands-on Building: Students write code block-by-block or line-by-line, learning core concepts like sequence logic, event handling, and animation loops while creating an interactive game or animation.
- Next 10 Minutes — Testing & Customization: Students customize their projects with original graphics, extra game mechanics, sound effects, and personal creative touches.
- Final 5 Minutes — Showcase & Wrap-up: Students test their completed projects, celebrate their accomplishments with the coach, and receive feedback on their work.
Your child leaves the trial hour with a working digital project that they built independently.
What your child needs for the trial session
Preparing for a free trial class is simple, requiring zero expensive equipment or software purchases:
For Live Online Trial Classes:
- Computer: A desktop computer or laptop running Windows, macOS, or ChromeOS. (Smartphones and tablets are not recommended for coding tasks.)
- Internet Connection: A stable household broadband connection suitable for video streaming.
- Peripherals: A standard mouse, keyboard, webcam, and headphones with a microphone.
- Software: A modern web browser (such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Mozilla Firefox). All trial software runs directly in the browser with zero downloads required.
For Physical Learning Centre Trial Classes:
- Simply bring your child to the selected centre location at the confirmed appointment time. All computer workstations, software tools, and physical robotics hardware are provided on-site.
Is it really free, and what happens afterwards?
Yes, the trial class is completely free of charge. Booking a trial carries zero financial obligation, requires no credit card details, and incurs zero booking fees.
After the trial session concludes:
- Zero High-Pressure Sales: You will receive clear, straightforward details regarding class schedules, module options, and enrolment steps.
- Review at Your Own Pace: Your family decides whether ongoing classes fit your schedule and educational goals.
- Smooth Enrolment Transition: If you decide to proceed, your child transitions directly into the regular curriculum at the rank matched to their trial performance and age band.
If you decide not to enrol, you owe nothing, and your child keeps the digital project they built during the hour.
Five signals to watch for during the trial session
The trial hour provides parents with valuable insights into how their child responds to structured technology instruction. Pay attention to these five key signals during the class:
- Engagement & Attention: Does your child stay focused on the screen, listen closely to coach directions, and show enthusiasm during building exercises?
- Confidence When Bugs Occur: When a script does not work immediately, does your child ask questions, test solutions, and feel encouraged by the coach’s assistance?
- Coach Interaction: Does the coach actively check your child’s work, offer positive reinforcement, and adapt explanations to your child’s age group?
- Pride in the Final Outcome: Does your child eagerly demonstrate their finished game or animation to you at the end of the session?
- Request for Future Classes: Does your child ask when they can attend their next coding class?
These five signals provide clear guidance on whether your child is ready for ongoing technology education.
