Questions
Which format should our school choose?
Most schools start with a 90-minute Technology Orientation or a half-day Practical Workshop, then move to the Four-Week Foundation Program. The 12-week Advanced Program adds more programming, experiments, project development and assessment.
What does the school need to provide?
A classroom or computer lab, a projector and screen, internet where required, tables and seating, and a school coordinator to manage students. Skills021 brings the demonstration equipment and agreed practical learning resources.
Do students get certificates?
Yes, participation certificates. The school also receives a program completion report, and students present their projects in a showcase on programs that include one.
Can parents enrol a child directly?
Programs run through schools. If your child’s school is not a partner yet, tell us and, with your permission, we will contact the school.
