Hands-on learning through creativity, technology, and problem-solving
At Future Survival, our coding clubs and classes in Gravesend offer engaging, hands-on learning experiences for children and young people who enjoy building, creating, and problem-solving.
Our sessions combine coding, digital skills, and STEM challenges, helping learners develop confidence, curiosity, and real-world technology skills in a fun, supportive environment. We welcome families from Gravesend and across Kent, with sessions designed to be inclusive, structured, and enjoyable.
Our coding clubs are structured learning sessions, often referred to as coding classes, combining guided teaching with hands-on activities.
What Are Coding Clubs & Classes?
Coding clubs and classes help children learn how technology works through interactive, practical activities rather than passive screen time.
Our sessions focus on:
- Problem-solving and logical thinking
- Creativity and experimentation
- Collaboration and communication
- Confidence with technology and digital tools
Sessions are practical, interactive, and designed to support different learning styles and abilities.
Age Groups (Guidance Only)
We group sessions by age to tailor activities and learning approaches. These ranges are guidance only, and we’re happy to discuss the best fit for each child.
- Ages 7–9
- Ages 9–11
- Ages 11–14
Tools & Platforms We Use
We use a mix of physical kits and digital platforms to balance screen-based learning with hands-on building:
- LEGO Education SPIKE – robotics, engineering, and problem-solving
- Minecraft Education – creativity, teamwork, and digital skills
- Scratch – beginner-friendly coding and computational thinking
- PicoBricks – electronics, sensors, and creative STEM projects
This approach helps children learn through building, experimenting, and coding, not just watching.
