SEED is an optional kindergarten play-English pre-stage — not prep for elementary SPARK, but where a child first comes to love English and making. Tap any stage to open its course page. Not sure where to start? Just reach out — we’re glad to help.
One stage = four six-month courses
A course runs six months, and every course closes with a family-invited Demo Day where your child introduces what she built, in English. The first course of each stage assumes no experience at all. Materials are billed at cost, with no markup.
Session length by age
SEED 2×60 min a week · SPARK 1×90 min · MAKER and up 1×120 min. They sit for as long as they can concentrate, and no longer.
Up to 6 children
A small group, so there’s enough room to speak in English and to get help when stuck.
A Demo Day every course
At the end of six months, children introduce what they made to family in English — and we film it.
Most start by age — but the right answer is different for every child
A 4th-grader new to coding, a 2nd-grader who has already tried block coding — the first course of each stage assumes nothing, and the ones after it open with a short practical so we can see together what she can do now.
Find my child’s right stageWe handle AI differently at each stage
At Makerlab we handle AI differently at each stage. When children are young we don’t use AI at all, so they build the strength to make things themselves; as they grow, we allow AI as a tool only once they can read, explain and check the code AI produces. They learn digital citizenship and privacy along the way.
Where should my child start?
Just tell us your child’s grade and interests, and Adriana will personally suggest the right starting point.
