Designer Minds Online
My child had lots of fun in the course and the instructor was very patient and supportive even when we had a technical issue on our end. He suggested how we could continue with the course and it worked perfectly. My son would love to do more courses of this type!

The Minecraft Masters online club was excellent! My daughter was excited to attend each week and motivated to practice her ideas between classes. The themed builds really sparked her creativity and got her thinking outside of the box about what she could accomplish in Minecraft. I would highly recommend this club!

I loved Minecraft Masters Club becasue during the challenges you can let your imagination go wild. You get great tips from other people who have been doing Minecraft longer than you.

A very user-friendly introduction to Scratch Coding by the Designer Minds Team! The small online class helped the teacher to keep on top of everyone’s progress and it allowed for very relaxed and fun interactions between the kids. They successfully covered a lot in the 5 week period. Would highly recommend to any child interested in coding.

Ben thoroughly enjoyed the Game Design Programme. It was great that it wasn't too short each week. He interacted well with the others and the leader was very helpful and friendly with the kids.
Amanda

I could not fault this online class. It was absolutely excellent and that was down to the teacher. He had so much patience and time for the kids. No question was dismissed or deemed irrelevant. This created a lovely safe environment for the kids to ask questions without fear of looking silly for not knowing the answer. My son learned so much from this course and it has given him a great insight into the world of computing and coding. As a Software Engineer myself it was great to see the concepts of coding covered in such a fun and engaging way. It will no doubt stand to him long term.

Our son recently completed scratch level 2 and really enjoyed it and for the first time ever worked at it on his own in between classes which is a big sign of what a great motivational and inspiring course it was. Big thanks to his teacher Niamh, we are hoping that Designer Minds will consider running a scratch Level 3 as the spark has well and truly been lit with levels 1 & 2 & it would be great to expand on it.

Chloe really enjoyed this course and would definitely love to partake in another in the future

The Scratch Coding 1 and 2 camps during the Easter holidays were a wonderful opportunity for my son, Will, to learn in a fun and interesting way. Niamh ran the webinars in a tightly structured and productive way that allowed her young learners to confidently follow the programme as well as have fun and be creative. Will can't wait for the next opportunity. Thank you Designer Minds!

Our son loved the Lego Masters club! We live overseas so it was great for him to take part in a course with Irish kids. From saying very little on the first week, our son blossomed and chatted lots in the last week. The leader did a great job in including all the kids, helping them to explore their ideas, and giving them tips on presenting what they had built. We will definitely be back for another course!
Susannah

Maya enjoyed this course so much! I really really hope there will be a second course like that.

My son took part in the Lego stop motion, online camp. He really enjoyed it. He learned so much every week. He was making some great stop motion shows and even taught his sister how to do a few.

Can't recommend highly enough

Zach had an amazing time at the Lego Masters. It provided a wonderful space for him to quietly be creative and it's such an empowering thing for kids to tell each other how good they are doing. The leader was absolutely amazing - she was patient, kind and generally fantastic.

Sharon

My daughter had a fantastic experience with this course. She found it very enjoyable and sociable while learning to code.
Caroline

My son has joined and completed various courses in the STEM theme but this was the only once he was enthusiastic and excited about. The instructor was very clear and very involved vocally during each session and there was just enough to give sense of a small gang building lego together . Would not hesitate to recommend or join again.
Fiona

Super course for Roblox fans and those who enjoy gaming in general. My son did the course over 5 consecutive days during lockdown and was totally immersed and excited by it. He was clock-watching for the course to begin each day and as the week went on, he had learned so much about creating his own game that he was at it first thing in the morning (expanding & refining it). The course leader was knowledgeable, patient & encouraged the children to have fun whilst still ensuring they stayed focused on the job at hand. It was very interactive and engaging. Simple to access over Zoom. Highly recommended
Marguerite

Daniel really enjoyed the course and learned a lot about scratch programming. He is keen to continue to learn more. I’m happy that he has learned a new skill especially during the lockdown period.
Ciaran

Frank loved the course 1 and he asked me to book the following course straight away! I'm delighted he enjoyed it so much :)
Jisuk

The learning experience was excellent. They covered lots of material but in a fun and relaxed way. It was great to see her socialising and making new friends.
Ruth

My daughter would get immersed in the activities every week and was very proud of what she produced. Very well run, and lots of fun.
Marek

My son was so looking forward to the course. We( parents) were a bit slow to get all organised for the course but once he figured it out, he loved it!!!
Thanks to the whole team at Designer Minds..Already looking forward to the next course
Mihaela

My son LOVED this course. I was a bit skeptical about how it would work for children online learning. I needn’t have worried. Small group, super teacher and engaged children. All boxes ticked.
Orla

My son loved his Designer Minds online course. In his words it was well paced & you had time to do the tasks. He liked the sharing element of the course and felt he could get inspiration from the other club goer. His teacher explained everything really well and all instructions were easy to follow. He enjoyed making his Lego movie and “shorts”. Thank you.
Denise

The course was outstanding. It's very cleverly put together having a story behind every week that joins up each week. Louise is an ideal instructor, so kind & calm while also being fun and getting the participants to enjoy the interaction.
Chrstine

My son thoroughly enjoyed the club and can't wait for the next one.

The weekly online club was something my son looked forward to every week. He was really engaged and enjoyed all building, he made sure we had all the supplies ready in advance each week.

I thought it was great because you get to meet people with the same thoughts and likes as you. And you can meet some nice people and try out different engineering projects. I like the experiments we did.

My son thoroughly enjoyed online game design course with Designers Minds and is eager to do the follow up to this. The instructor was excellent interacting with him and met him were he was at and then challenged. The Monday to Friday really suited him and he enjoyed doing this every day and really looked forward to it. It also provided him with some structure to his day given the current Climate! 10/10
Sinéad

My son absolutely loved the class and looked forward to it every week.

The Designer Minds Roblox classes have been the highlight of Josh’s week from day one! It’s so good to hear him talking animatedly with like minded kids.

Melanie

Oisin really enjoyed the course and found his instructor very helpful and his fellow class mates good fun.

Theresa

My son thoroughly enjoyed this class and he learned so much over the course of the five weeks. Michael was so patient and explained everything very well. The small class sizes meant that every child could contribute to the class and share their questions and results with each other. I highly recommend this class to other kids interested in coding!

Having attended Designer Minds summer camps before, I expected my son to enjoy this but he absolutely loved it and can't wait for the next course to start. With so little to look forward to or to structure kids' time at the moment, I can't recommend this enough. The highlight of his week. As a parent I am so happy that screen time can be educational as well as something he really enjoys!
Rosanna

Aaron Kennedy loved the Introduction to Coding with Scratch. The instructor was brilliant with the kids and so supportive when they got stuck on certain things. Would highly recommend it.
