Most kids think coding is for "smart kids" or "future programmers."
It's not. Coding is how real people solve real problems.
In this class, we skip the theory. Your child creates real things.

What they'll do:
✓ Build real projects in Scratch: a working game, an interactive animation, a story they coded
✓ Program virtual robots: solve real-world challenges (navigate a maze, automate a task, build a system)
✓ Create in Minecraft Education: design worlds, automate constructions, solve logic problems
✓ Experiment with different languages: not just learn "the right way," but understand that there are many ways to think about a problem
✓ Collaborate and share: work with other kids, get feedback, improve their work
✓ Develop logical thinking: not just for coding, but for anything: solving math problems, science challenges, real-world situations

Why this is different:
We don't teach syntax. We teach how programmers think.
Most children's coding courses say "here's the code, copy it." We teach "what problem are we trying to solve? How could we break it into steps? What options do we have?"
When your child learns to think like a programmer, they can learn any language afterward.

What they take home:
A portfolio of 3–4 completed, working projects. The ability to say "I built this." And the deep understanding that code is a tool to make real things happen.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60–90 min sessions | Flexible pace, no prior experience needed
For curious 8-12 year olds who want to build.

I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years. I am graduated with an Academic Bachelor in Fine Arts in the University of Barcelona and graduated as a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen.

I am specialised in painting, drawing, experimental films, installations, language, sound and curating. In other words, I am a multidisciplinary artist.

I understand the artistic practice as a way to understand ourselves and the situations which surrounds us. In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns.

In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on.

You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns.

Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.

From still life and portraiture to landscapes, abstract painting, and multimedia art, this course will support you in developing your unique visual language.

I am not an ordinary babysitter — I am first and foremost a facilitator of creative and educational workshops for children.
With a solid background in drawing and painting, as well as a TOEFL certification, I offer fun sessions where your children explore the world of colors, shapes and English, all while having fun.
In the program :
🎨 Drawing and painting classes (pencils, watercolor) adapted to each age group
🌍 Introduction to English through songs, stories and games
🎬 Discovering cartoons as a tool for learning and expression
✨ Creation of educational games that stimulate imagination and motor skills
My goal: to transform every moment into a creative experience, where the child learns to express themselves, to observe and to create with pleasure — while naturally developing their ear for English.
Ideal for curious, creative children, or those who simply want to spend a different kind of afternoon, with their hands in the paint and their heads in the stars!

📍 Home or online sessions — In Bordeaux and surrounding areas.
📩 Feel free to contact me to design a custom workshop for your child!

A refresher course in graphic design designed to closely guide you through your creative process. Here, we'll not only answer your questions about programs like Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign, but we'll also work together on the design principles that make all the difference: composition, color, typography, visual hierarchy, and aesthetic coherence.

The idea is for you to feel confident asking questions, experimenting, and improving at your own pace, with clear explanations, practical examples, and personalized support. More than a technical class, it's a supportive space where you can refine your projects, reinforce what you already know, and gain confidence in your creative decisions.

"Industrial drawing" or "technical drawing", whether manual or computer-aided (CAD, CAM...),
is first and foremost a language or graphic communication tool with precise rules.
This language, largely standardized internationally (ISO: International Standard
Organization), can be considered a universal language used in the same way
all over the world.
Industrial drawing is used by technicians, engineers, and designers to communicate
from the initial idea of a product to its design and production. All products, machines and
Various systems are first designed and defined graphically before considering their
manufacturing.
