Kids Courses Offered at ETC
Robotics
We prioritize teaching kids robotics because it offers a hands-on, interactive approach to learning that makes complex coding concepts more tangible. Robotics combines coding with real-world applications, allowing children to see their code come to life through movement and problem-solving.
While coding alone is valuable, robotics enhances engagement by providing a physical component that fosters creativity, critical thinking, and teamwork. Building and programming robots helps kids develop essential STEM skills while making learning more exciting and immersive. The investment in robotics is worthwhile, as it nurtures innovation and prepares children for future careers in engineering, automation, and AI.
Python for Kids
Python is an easy-to-understand yet powerful programming language that can help kids develop complex applications across various fields like data science, web development, artificial intelligence, game development, and automation.
Early exposure to Python offers significant benefits, including enhanced problem-solving skills, logical thinking, creativity, and a head start in academic and career opportunities. Learning Python at a young age not only prepares students for success in school and university but also gives them a competitive edge in the job market.
Python for Kids (15 hours, $150) • Python 1 Full Course (30 hours, $300) • Python 2 Advanced Course (30 hours, $350)
CAD for Kids
CAD (Computer-Aided Design) equips students with the tools to create 2D and 3D geometric designs, preparing them for future careers in fields like engineering, architecture, product design, and manufacturing. We recommend AutoCAD and Rhino as essential tools: AutoCAD is the industry-leading software for mastering 2D architectural and mechanical drawings, perfect for kids aspiring to pursue engineering or architecture; Rhino is a top choice for 3D design, widely used for creating intricate objects like jewelry and product prototypes. By the end of the course, students can even bring their designs to life using our 3D printer.
AutoCAD for Kids (15 hours, $150) • AutoCAD 2D Full Course (30 hours, $250) • Rhino for Kids (15 hours, $200) • Rhino 1 Full Course (30 hours, $350)
Graphic Design for Kids
Teaching graphic design to kids not only enhances their creativity but also helps them develop essential presentation and communication skills—key ingredients for future success. We recommend starting with Adobe Photoshop for image manipulation and photo editing, Adobe Illustrator for geometric shapes and designs for logos, posters and publications, and Adobe Premiere Pro for shooting and editing videos for platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.
Adobe Photoshop (24 hours, $250) • Adobe Illustrator (24 hours, $250) • Adobe Premiere for Kids (12 hours, $150) • Adobe Premiere Full Course (24 hours, $350)
Photography
Photography gives kids the freedom to capture the world as they see it, encouraging them to express their unique perspectives through images. It teaches them to pay closer attention to their surroundings, helping them notice details, colors, and patterns they might otherwise overlook. Capturing the perfect shot often requires patience, fostering focus and discipline. In our Photography course, kids will also learn essential topics such as equipment, lenses, exposure, composition, and various camera controls.
Photography Fundamentals (18 hours, $350)
