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.

partnerships - Department For Education

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.

keeping children safe online

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.

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.
