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.

Brand design is what makes your brand unforgettable, therefore it is one of the most important investments you can make in your business or for yourself.

When the most used sources of information for the company are websites, social networks, search engines, brochures and catalogs, the brand of the company must be above others for succeed.

While good content is important, it's the visual aspect of your brand that gets the public's attention first. Thus, a good visual brand design offers you these competitive advantages.

Learning how to design the brand you dreamed of or learning how to create brands for other companies gives you these skills in high demand.

In this course, I will teach you how to design brands from concept to finish. The course will be a project-based course and will use the learning-by-doing approach where you will be guided in detail through the branding process from logo design to business cards, branded t-shirts , brochures, leaflets, letterheads, envelopes, website banners, etc.

I will teach you how to design a strong visual brand that creates a sense of unity and cohesion, by maintaining a consistent and clear brand across all marketing channels, because only then can customers instantly recognize your Mark.

Branding shows that you are proud of your business. Customers will recognize the investment you make in the success of your own business and know that you will deliver with the same passion when it comes to meeting their needs.

Attention to detail in brand design, even something as simple as a business card, can reassure your customers that you value every aspect of your business.

A professional branding immediately gives people the impression that you are an established, confident and trustworthy business.

No matter the size of the business, putting order in the brand design will bring you more customers, make your product more easily recognizable and encourage people to come back for more.

Beginners / Intermediate or Advanced classes of Adobe Illustrator.

Adobe Illustrator is a powerful drawing software program offered by Adobe. Anyone, regardless of artistic or computer ability, can use Illustrator to draw shapes and lines, create text, or import graphics and pictures. You can use Illustrator to do a layout for a book, create a web page, and the list goes on.

I have been using Illustrator among other Adobe software for the last 15 years of my designer career and I teach them all at the University where I work since 2018.
