QwertyKids — Video Game Design

My son, who is 10, recently joined the QwertyKids Video Game Design program in Sydney, and he has been excited about it each week. The instructor, Leo, makes the sessions engaging and encourages the kids to brainstorm their own game ideas. My son built a simple platformer game during the first couple of classes, and seeing him so invested in the project was rewarding. The small group size allowed for personalized attention, which I appreciated. However, I did notice he spent quite a bit of time in front of a screen during the sessions, which I worry might detract from the hands-on experience. The pickup process was straightforward, but it can get a bit crowded at times. Overall, I think it’s a solid program for kids interested in both technology and creativity, and I’d recommend it, keeping in mind the screen time.

I enrolled my 10-year-old in the QwertyKids Video Game Design program in Sydney, and overall, it was a solid experience. The instructor, Jamie, had a knack for keeping the kids engaged, explaining game mechanics and coding in a fun way. My child really enjoyed designing a simple platform game and even learned about character development. The small group size allowed for more personalized attention, which was great. However, I did notice that the kids spent quite a bit of time on screens, which might be concerning for some parents. A little more balance with hands-on activities would be ideal. Pickup was quite organized, but the location was a bit crowded, making it challenging to find my child at times. Despite these minor annoyances, I would recommend this program for creative kids who are interested in technology.
