Skills of the Future for Everyone

DIGITAL HOUSE

Promoting Sciences, Arts and Technology

Digital House promotes and organizes STEAM activities (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) as an after-school, enrichment curriculum.

Digital House provides both virtual classes and on-site workshops and events in Geneva

Proposed activities are designed for everyone, including the youngest ones, who is interested in skills of the future: technology, sciences and languages.

HOW EARLY should I TEACH MY CHILD DIGITAL SKILLS ? >>

From our years-long successful experience of teaching digital skills from early age we could confidently state that it is not 'too early' to teach the very young ones to learn logical thinking, digital skills and elements of coding.

We do not discriminate students by age and will accept any child who is interested in digital world and capable to follow our programs.

LEARNING PATHS

BEGINNER

Initial digital skills to manage devices and applications. Block-based coding on tablets with the following languages : Scratch, Micro:Bit

Experienced user

Confident and independent user of computer. Transition to text-based coding on laptops/computers by learning Python, JavaScript, HTML/CSS

Abstract Art generator

Generative Art ( also called code art or algorithmic art ) is a novel art form created by an algorithm that generates designs and patterns. In 2021 it gained a wide public recognition due to artist Beeple who sold his digital art work for $69 Million.

WHAT TOOLS DO I NEED TO HAVE AT HOME TO PROVIDE DIGITAL AND ONLINE LEARNING TO MY CHILD ? >>

Computers. We recommend to use laptops or desktops, WIndows or Mac OS for children ready to move further from elementary block-based coding to a more advanced level. Computers are required for intermediate and advanced classes for Python/JavaScript.
Tablets (iPads). We do not support or recommed tablets to be used for online classes. These devices, however, could be used at home for the youngest ones to practice their block-based coding with Scratch from as early as 4 years old, as tablets help to develop initial motor and tactile skills to manage digital devices and learn the basics of block-coding
Mobiles: We do not recommend to use mobile phones for our classes and could not provide support for these devices or trouble-shooting during the class.
Reliable and stable wi-fi connection
Quiet place with a dedicated desk to follow the class
Initial parents' help to start video-conference, to be able to share and split a computer screen during the online class, manage microphone (mute/unmute) and camera (on/off) of child's device.
Beginner/Intermediate Animation and Coding Classes. Before the class, please sign up for a free Scratch account. To enable your child to save his work and continue working on it during subsequent classes, please open an account at http://scratch.mit.edu
