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’ve been working in 3D and Unreal Engine for over 5 years, mainly on environment creation.
I’ve contributed to major productions, including high-profile films and series for international studios and streaming platforms (Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, etc.).

In addition to professional work, I also teach in a school, so I’m used to adapting my explanations to different levels.

My approach is always:

Hands-on and project-based

Learning through small games, interactive scenes, and creative exercises

Less theory, more practice — because learning should be fun and motivating

Ce cours est un accompagnement personnalisé de projets graphiques, destiné aux étudiants, jeunes professionnels ou créatifs souhaitant confronter leur travail à un regard professionnel, ancré dans des contraintes réelles de production.

Nous travaillerons à partir de vos propres projets (print, identité visuelle, illustration, affiche, branding, communication digitale...), en abordant à la fois les aspects créatifs, techniques et stratégiques : intention graphique, cohérence visuelle, lisibilité, hiérarchisation, choix typographiques, couleurs, formats et adaptation aux supports.

L’objectif n’est pas seulement d’« améliorer un visuel », mais de comprendre pourquoi faire certains choix, comment défendre une intention, répondre à un brief client, et produire un travail juste, efficace et professionnel, comme en agence ou en freelance.

Le cours s’adapte entièrement à votre niveau, à vos objectifs (portfolio, projet scolaire, projet client, reconversion, pratique personnelle) et à votre rythme.

Ce cours s’adresse aux élèves qui souhaitent apprendre à dessiner, développer leur univers visuel ou préparer une entrée en école d’art. Illustrateur, concept artist et enseignant en arts visuels, j’accompagne depuis plusieurs années des étudiants et des créatifs dans l’apprentissage du dessin académique, de l’illustration, du character design, du concept art et de la narration visuelle.

Les cours sont adaptés au niveau et aux objectifs de chaque élève. Nous pouvons travailler les bases du dessin comme l’observation, les proportions, la perspective, la lumière, la composition et l’anatomie, mais aussi des approches plus avancées comme la création de personnages, de décors, de planches de recherches, de portfolios ou de projets personnels.

Pour les élèves qui visent une prépa ou une école d’art, je propose également un accompagnement méthodique pour construire un dossier cohérent, développer une identité visuelle et gagner en exigence dans la présentation du travail.

Ma pédagogie repose sur une progression claire, des exercices ciblés, des démonstrations, des retours précis et un suivi adapté au rythme de chacun. L’objectif est de faire progresser l’élève durablement, en lui donnant à la fois des bases solides, une méthode de travail et davantage de confiance dans sa pratique.
