Young Innovators — A ladder that grows with your child — from first blocks of code to shipping real projects.

Four age-banded levels aligned to the school calendar, so a six-year-old who starts at Sparks can climb all the way to shipping real software at seventeen.

The ladder

Every step ends with something real.

Delivered through weekend hubs, in-school clubs and holiday camps. Every level ends in a showcase where children present what they built — and parents see real progress, not just attendance. New learners can join a free taster session first, and schools can bring the programme in-house as an after-school club.
