Enniskillen STEM Academy

Well done to our two newest Systems Programmers at Enniskillen STEM Academy 👏🏼

A month of real focus and hard work - they’ve hit every milestone and are now building with timers, power-ups, and game states 👾

Omagh: Saturday morning cohort starting July

If you've been waiting for a Saturday slot in Omagh - it's happening.

We're opening a Saturday morning cohort for ages 8-14 from July.
Same programme as our weekday sessions: the full six-level Coding Passport, small groups, and real games and projects built in MakeCode Arcade (with Python further along the pathway).

To take one of the places, please get in touch ASAP.

🤖 Brilliant sessions today!

The focus was getting everyone confident with downloading their code onto micro:bits - and we kept things varied to make it stick.

Students worked with retro arcade handheld controllers, programmed Cutebots, and then it all built up to a proper race using our brand-new PU robots. The energy in the room was fantastic.

Great work and real enthusiasm from start to finish 👏

New in the portal: progress updates on demand

You can now request a progress update on your child whenever you'd like one. Log into the portal, open their page, and tap "Request an update" - it'll be with you within three days.

Pull an update the moment it's useful to you: before a parents' evening, after a tricky few weeks, or just when you're curious how they're getting on. And we'll always flag anything important as it happens, too.

(Example shown is a sample, not a real student.)

Algorithms, agents, blocks and blasts! 💥 Wrapped up our coding agent lesson in Minecraft Education today — then earned some creative and survival mode time to blow off steam.

Huge well done to the Omagh cohort for stepping outside your comfort zone🧱⛏️

Omagh Coding Club — Second Cohort Opening 🚀

Our first Omagh cohort is now full, and we're maintaining a waiting list. Given the interest, we're opening a second cohort: Mondays, 5:30–7pm at the Omagh Digihub.

A trial session will run on Monday 22nd of June, 5:45–6:30pm. Places are limited, so we're prioritising families ready to commit to the cohort if the trial goes well.

Free Trial Session — Omagh | Enniskillen STEM Academy Book a free coding trial for students aged 8–14 at Omagh Enterprise - The Digi-Hub. Our second cohort runs Mondays 5:30–7pm — limited places available.

🌟 May's Student of the Month: Harrison! 🌟

Focused from the moment he sits down, and the bit we love most: he builds each new project on top of what he's already learned, rather than starting from scratch every week. He's working through our Mechanics level and on track to hit Systems before the summer ☀️

Keep it up, Harrison! 🚀

A few photos from today’s Saturday morning coding club. Students were using AI agents to help create algorithms and write code in Minecraft Education. Keep an eye out for the final photo, which gives a small sneak preview of what’s coming next week!

We're hiring tutors! 👩‍💻👨‍💻

Enniskillen STEM Academy is growing — and we're looking for reliable, engaging tutors to join our team across our Enniskillen and Omagh clubs.

We run small-group coding clubs for children aged 8–14, working through a fully structured curriculum with a proven progression framework. You don't need to be a coding expert — if you're a confident, calm communicator who's great with this age group, we'll support you with full onboarding, lesson plans, and everything you need to teach well from day one.

This is a regular, term-time weekly commitment — the kind of role that suits someone who wants something steady and rewarding, not ad-hoc work. Sessions run on weekday afternoons/evenings and Saturdays.

💷 £30–£50 per hour, depending on experience
📍 Enniskillen & Omagh

Shortlisted applicants will be invited to a paid trial session. We'd love to hear from you.
