Frequently asked questions
Does my child need any coding experience?
Not a jot! Most of our coders start as complete beginners. Sessions are tailored to each child's interests and skill level, so newbies and mini-experts both leave buzzing.
What ages do you cover?
We welcome children age 6 and up (P3 to S2+). Parents typically sign their child up to a class that matches their stage in school, but you know your child best, so please get in touch if you think they would be better suited to another group. Check our booking page for current groups and times.
My child has Additional Support Needs. Are your classes suitable?
Yes! We believe every child should have the chance to create, learn and feel like they belong. We tailor our sessions to the children who attend, adapting our approach so everyone feels supported and able to succeed.
With small group sizes and two adults at every session as standard, we can provide the encouragement and guidance children need. Please get in touch before your child's first session so we can agree any support, and arrive five minutes early on the first day for a quick chat. We also talk with parents before and after sessions to make sure we're supporting your child in the right way.
Where do sessions happen?
At St Mary's for All, 4 Auchingramont Road, Hamilton, ML3 6JT, a fully accessible venue with toilet facilities. Please bring your child into the session room and hand them over to a member of staff. You're welcome back in five minutes before the end to see what they've made, and sessions finish promptly. Full details are in our Terms and Conditions.
How do I book?
Everything runs through our friendly booking system, ClassForKids, with classes, camps, payments and updates all in one place. It takes about two minutes.
My child loves Minecraft but school says it's just games…
Great news: at Bitsi, Minecraft Education is a real engineering tool. Kids team up, plan builds, solve problems and write real code. They're learning computational thinking while having the time of their lives.
My child has lots of experience. Will this be too easy for them?
Not at all! We provide extra challenges at each session so children can take projects further, explore new ideas and push their skills even further. Our instructors encourage children to experiment, problem-solve and create at a level that feels right for them.
