For over 25 years, ComputerXplorers has helped thousands of children discover the power of technology through engaging, structured STEM classes. We combine proven teaching methods with hands-on digital learning to build skills that last far beyond the classroom.
We exist to inspire young minds to explore technology with confidence and curiosity.
Teaching kids STEM since 1999
ComputerXplorers began with a simple idea: give children the opportunity to explore technology in a way that feels exciting, creative, and practical. What started as a small initiative has grown into a global network delivering thousands of classes each year.
We are working in collaboration with a significant range of local authorities on behalf of the Department for Education to create a highly enriching programme of activities and events. These range from robotics to designing our own computer games, stop motion animation, to creating our own mobile apps. It also includes events where the whole family can get involved as these will be delivered online and virtually.
We know keeping children safe online can feel like a minefield, which is why we've created our Online Safety Hub. It helps parents and schools navigate the digital world with practical advice on parental controls, online gaming, chat apps, inappropriate content, digital footprints, online predators and safe social media use, alongside trusted resources and guidance for reporting concerns through CEOP.
Our classes are designed with clear learning outcomes in mind. Every session is purposeful, hands-on, and focused on building real digital skills - not passive device use.
Curriculum-aligned learning
Our accredited instructors deliver structured STEM sessions on-site, managing all equipment and classroom engagement to provide a seamless experience for staff and students.
Experienced instructors
Students’ progress is monitored through practical project outcomes and skill development, giving schools clear insight into engagement, participation, and capability growth.
Confidence through creation
We provide structured feedback and open communication, allowing schools to refine, adapt, and continuously improve the program to best support their pupils.
Confident kids
Students develop practical computing skills while gaining the confidence to explore, experiment, and solve problems independently in a digital environment.
critical thinkers
Through structured, hands-on challenges, pupils strengthen logical reasoning, creativity, and problem-solving — skills that transfer beyond technology into wider learning.
curriculum support
A structured, professionally delivered STEM program that strengthens your school’s digital capability and reinforces your commitment to future-ready education.
