Visual, block-based coding for children aged 5–8 at iCode Academy Abu Dhabi on Saadiyat Island, an award-winning STEM and coding academy that also runs after-school coding clubs at leading Abu Dhabi schools. Using MIT's Scratch platform, children build games, animations, and interactive stories while learning sequencing, loops, and logic with no prior experience needed. Saturday and Sunday sessions run 90 minutes.
This session runs 90 minutes, for ages 5–8. Sessions follow a project-based learning approach where children build towards a tangible outcome — a working game, a robot, a completed project. These programmes develop logical thinking, problem-solving, and persistence with complex challenges. Most providers group children by age and prior experience rather than a fixed level system. iCode Academy Abu Dhabi offers a free trial session before you commit.
Parent tip
The best coding and STEM programmes make children feel like creators, not consumers of technology. If your child already spends a lot of time on screens, a robotics programme that involves physical construction alongside programming may be more engaging than pure screen-based coding.
