What we get up to

Every week is a new mission. Here's the tech our crew gets their hands on — actual hands, actual tech, not just watching videos of somebody else having fun.

LEGO Robotics

Build it. Program it. Watch it trundle about the room like it owns the place. Bricks + motors + code = magic.

Scratch Games

Make your own games, cartoons and sound boards — then boss your family into playing them. Forever.

micro:bit

A computer smaller than a biscuit! Code flashing lights, secret radio messages and step counters.

Sphero BOLT

Robot balls that zoom, spin, light up and (occasionally) escape. Program missions and obstacle courses!

Minecraft Education

Team up to build worlds, solve puzzles and learn real coding inside everyone's favourite blocky universe.

AI Explorers

Train computers to recognise doodles, make silly AI games, and find out how the robots actually think.

👨‍👩‍👧 The sensible bit

For parents & carers

Behind all the beeping and giggling is a properly run club. Here's what you need to know.

Qualified teachers

Classes are led by fully qualified teachers with 10+ years of classroom experience — folk who actually know how kids learn.

Safe & checked

All instructors are PVG checked, safeguarding trained and first aid trained. Registers are taken every session.

Small groups

Just 8–10 children per class, so everyone gets real time on the tech and proper support from instructors.

Zero kit needed

We supply all laptops, robots and gadgets. Your only job: a named water bottle and an excited child.

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?

Roughly ages 6–12 (P3 to S2). We group children into squads — Code Explorers, Code Builders and Code Creators — so activities always match their stage. Check our booking page for current groups and times.

Where do sessions happen?

At St Mary's for All, 4 Auchingramont Road, Hamilton, ML3 6JT — a fully accessible venue with toilet facilities. Drop off no more than 5 minutes before the start, and collect within 5 minutes of the end.

How do I book (or cancel)?

Everything runs through our friendly booking system, ClassForKids — 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 legit 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. Don't tell them it's educational.

Do you do birthday parties or school visits?
