AI & Coding for Kids in London: The After‑School Club That Future‑Proofs Your Child

Imagine your child building a game, training a mini‑AI, and confidently presenting it to you in 12 weeks. That’s not a dream—it’s our normal.
Parents in London are searching for “coding clubs for kids near me” because tech is no longer a niche—it’s a life skill. At Impact Academies London, our after‑school coding club and weekend activities turn screen time into creator time. Kids discover how apps, games and AI actually work—and they start building their own.

Why coding (and AI) for kids—now?

  • Better grades & focus: Coding trains logic, sequencing and problem‑solving that transfer to maths, science and even writing.
  • Confidence on stage: Every term ends with a project fair—kids present what they built, boosting communication skills and pride.
  • Healthy tech habits: We replace passive scrolling with purposeful creating—websites, games, 3D art and beginner AI models.

What your child actually learns

  • 5–7 years (IT‑Intern): Creative coding, robotics basics, 3D modelling apps, Minecraft coding.
  • 8–10 years (IT‑Master): Web pages, game design, intro to AI for kids, logic & algorithms.
  • 11–13 years (IT‑Senior): Python for kids, websites and apps, chatbots and machine learning, design thinking.
  • 14–17 years (IT‑Expert): Python, Java apps, Blender 3D, cloud AI & data projects, SQL.
Structured 2‑hour weekly sessions (after‑school or weekends), small groups, DBS‑checked expert coaches.

Busting the myths

  • “My child is too young.” With the right guidance, children as young as 5 can grasp core computing ideas and even simple robotics.
  • “They already have ICT at school.” Schools are fantastic—but often time‑limited. Our programme is project‑ledwith deeper, ongoing practice.
  • “It’s only for future programmers.” Coding builds universal skills: planning, creativity, teamwork, public speaking and resilience.

The dream your child can live

Picture this: your child designs a game, debugs it, adds sound, then demos it proudly. That spark of I built this becomes motivation in every subject. As skills grow, so do options—GCSE choices, internships, portfolios, and a realistic path to high‑earning tech or entrepreneurial careers.
