Welcome to Kiddiengineer's Year 1 online program! Get ready for an exciting adventure through our first four modules, guiding you throughout your first year in our stream program. When you enroll, you'll enjoy access to all modules for a full year – a far more comprehensive experience compared to accessing a single module for just four months. Year 1 is all about diving into the world of Microsoft MakeCode and the BBC micro:bit, and you'll even get your hands on your very own electronics starter kit. Forget about worrying about hardware; we'll send everything you need straight to your doorstep, no matter where you are in South Africa. Join us in celebrating one of South Africa's very own extracurricular success stories that weathered the storm of COVID. Kiddiengineer is not just about learning; it's about getting prepared for whatever your future might throw at you. Come be a part of the fun and learning – your future self will thank you!
