Frequently asked questions

Impact Academies Amsterdam offers technology courses for children and teenagers aged 4-17. The programme is divided into age-appropriate levels, from LEGO® Little Engineers for the youngest children to IT-Expert for teenagers.

We recommend a course based on your child’s age, experience and interests. Whether they enjoy games, robotics, design, artificial intelligence or programming, we will help you find the most suitable group.

No. Beginners are welcome. Children with previous experience can join a more advanced group after we assess their current knowledge and interests.

Depending on their age and course, students explore coding, robotics, game development, artificial intelligence, web development, graphic design, 3D modelling and digital literacy. They also develop communication, teamwork, creativity and presentation skills.

Our lessons are practical and project-based. Children learn by creating their own games, animations, websites, applications, robots and digital projects, not simply by listening to theory.

Classes are taught in both Dutch and English. English is especially important in technology, so children naturally develop their language skills while learning IT. At the same time, every child can ask questions and receive support in whichever language feels most comfortable.

Classes take place once a week, and each lesson lasts two hours. The exact day and time depend on the group you choose.

We work with small groups of usually 6-8 children, allowing each child to receive support and personal attention. A group may occasionally have up to 15 children.

All equipment needed for the chosen course is included in the price, including laptops, tablets, robots and LEGO®.

We are very aware of children’s screen time, and this is exactly why we created these courses: to help children learn how to build with technology, not just consume it. Lessons combine focused computer work with teamwork, creative exercises, presentations, energising activities and other screen-free moments.

Yes, we offer free demo lessons so your child can meet the teacher and future classmates, explore what we do, and see how they can create their own project using technology.

Yes, joining after a course has started is possible. Contact us so we can evaluate the options and find the most suitable group for your child.

Parents and children have access to their own online account. Children can view study materials and homework and track their projects, while parents can follow their child’s progress.

Please let us know as early as possible. We will always try to find a suitable catch-up solution, depending on the course and available space, but a replacement lesson cannot always be guaranteed.

Please contact us before registration and tell us about any learning, health or accessibility needs that may affect participation. We will discuss what support may reasonably be provided and whether the selected group is suitable.
