Coding does not have to start with a screen.

For some children, coding becomes much easier to understand when they can actually see their instructions come to life.

That is what makes AlgoPlay different.

Children first build a model.

Then they create a sequence of commands.

Then they press PLAY…

and watch their creation respond.

Move forward. Turn. Stop. Switch on a light. React to a command.

And when something does not work?

They test it.

Change it.

Try again.

That is where children begin developing something much bigger than coding skills.

Logical thinking. Problem-solving. Creativity. Independence.

They are learning to look at a problem and think:

“What can I change to make this work?”

That is the kind of thinking we want children to carry with them beyond the classroom.

🧱 Build it.
💻 Code it.
▶️ Test it.
💡 Figure it out.

September places are now open.

If your child loves building, experimenting or figuring out how things work, send us a message to find out more or book a trial.

The most common thing working parents tell us is simple.

I want this for my child but I cannot always make weekends work.

That is exactly why we run after school sessions inside primary schools across Harborne and Sutton Coldfield.

Your child goes straight from their school day into a Young Engineers session. You collect them one hour later. No extra journey. No rearranging your evening. No added pressure on an already busy week.

In that one hour your child is not sitting and watching.

They are building real mechanical models, solving real engineering challenges, and developing skills that go far beyond what they build. Confidence. Problem solving. Creative thinking. The habit of not giving up.

Currently running after school at Chad Vale Primary in Harborne, Our Lady of Fatima in Harborne, and St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary in Sutton Coldfield.

New schools joining from September.

Not at your child’s school yet? Speak to your school coordinator or headteacher and ask them to contact us. We take care of everything. You just open the school gate.

Young Engineers is recognised by the Harvard School of Education — a hands-on STEM programme developing engineering thinking, creativity, teamwork and problem-solving through real building challenges. Available for children aged 6–12.

We have had hundreds of conversations with parents over the past year. The same misconceptions come up again and again. And almost every time, the parent who almost did not get in touch became one of our most loyal families.

Young Engineers is recognised by the Harvard School of Education — a hands-on STEM programme developing engineering thinking, creativity, teamwork and problem-solving through real building challenges. Available for children aged 6–12 in Harborne and Sutton Coldfield.

New term begins September. Spaces are limited.

After-school sessions running from September at:
Chad Vale Primary School, Harborne — every Friday
Our Lady of Fatima Primary School, Harborne — every Wednesday
St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary, Sutton Coldfield — every Tuesday

Weekend sessions also available.

STEM is much more than science, technology, engineering and maths.

It is learning how to ask questions.

How to test ideas.

How to solve problems.

That is exactly what children experience in Bricks Challenge.

Each week they build a new working model while discovering real engineering principles through hands-on learning. From gears and forces to energy and mechanical systems, every lesson encourages children to think, experiment and explore.

The models are exciting.

But the thinking they develop is even more valuable.

If your child loves asking “How does that work?”, Bricks Challenge is the perfect place to nurture that curiosity.

📍 September enrolment is now open for children aged 6–10 in Harborne and Sutton Coldfield.

When these two boys first joined Young Engineers, they were both very shy.

They hardly spoke to anyone.

Week after week, something began to change.

As they built models together, solved challenges together and celebrated each other’s successes, a friendship naturally grew.

Today, they laugh together, encourage one another and look forward to seeing each other every week.

The engineering models are wonderful.

The coding is exciting.

But sometimes the most valuable thing a child builds is something you cannot take home.

A friendship.

📍 Our new term begins in September.

If your child would love to build, create and meet other curious young minds, we’d love to welcome them to Young Engineers in Harborne or Sutton Coldfield.

A few weeks ago E joined Young Engineers.
Coding came naturally to him. Mechanical building did not.

Two different skills. One was easy. One was hard. Most children quietly avoid the hard one.
E did not.

Week after week he kept building, testing, adjusting and learning from every model that did not work the first time. He did not need to be pushed. He just kept going.

This week he built and programmed a Pivoting Fan — combining motors, pivot mechanisms and coding to control movement and direction.
But the moment that stayed with us was not the model.

It was when he turned around and explained exactly how it worked. Every part. Every decision he made. Every adjustment that got him there.

That confidence did not come from being told he was capable.
It came from discovering it himself — one challenge at a time.

That is what one hour a week at Young Engineers builds. Not just models. The belief that when something is hard, you are someone who figures it out.

Real Student. Real Build.

Three days ago was the final session of our academic year.

And it reminded us that the biggest things children build aren’t always made from bricks.

Over the past year we watched children grow far beyond the models they created.

They built confidence.

They made friendships.

They stopped giving up when something didn’t work.

They became more curious.

More resilient.

More willing to try again.

Some even started designing their own ideas instead of simply following instructions.

That is the real achievement.

To every child who joined us this year…

Thank you for your curiosity, creativity and determination.

Watching you grow has been the best part of what we do.

And to every parent…

Thank you for trusting us with one hour of your child’s week.

Those hours become something much bigger than engineering.

If your child loves building, creating or asking “How does this work?”, we’d love to welcome them.

A new term begins in September.

We can’t wait to welcome the next group of young engineers.

Parents hear the word STEM everywhere.

But what does it actually mean?

STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics—four subjects that help children understand how the world works and how to solve real problems.

At Young Engineers, children don’t learn these ideas from a textbook.

They explore them by building, testing, experimenting and discovering how things work through hands-on engineering challenges.

Every session develops more than technical skills. It encourages curiosity, confidence, creativity and problem-solving.

Because today’s builders become tomorrow’s thinkers.

They didn’t buy this.

They built it.

Every child started with the same pieces.

An hour later...

Every child had built a working Ball Blaster.

Then something happened we love seeing.

They stopped asking,

“Does it work?”

..and started asking,

“Can I make it even better?”

That’s the moment engineering begins.

⚽ One session remains this Sunday in Sutton Coldfield.

Perfect for children aged 6–12 who love building, creating and discovering how things work.
