Is this course suitable for my child’s age? What if they have no previous experience? Will they join a new or existing group?

Yes! We place children by age and experience level: - Visual Programming (VP): Ages 7–11 - Python: Ages 12–16 - Robotics & Game Design: Mixed ages, grouped by skill Most children start with no prior experience — our curriculum begins with beginner-friendly lessons. Depending on your preferred schedule, your child can join either a new group (starting from lesson 1) or an existing group. To ensure the right placement, we always offer a free trial lesson.

Is 90 minutes too long for younger children? Can parents stay during the lesson?

The 90-minute format works very well because it incorporates short breaks, hands-on tasks, and interactive activities that keep children engaged. Children concentrate better without parents in the room, but you are welcome to arrive a little early — we will happily show you the project built during the day.

What language is used for instruction?

All regular courses are taught in German, and all instructors also speak English. If your child needs support in English, we are very happy to assist.

Can my child switch from Visual Programming to Python?

Yes — children can switch from Visual Programming to Python as soon as they are ready. Parents receive weekly updates, progress reports, and project files, which help determine the right transition point together with the teachers.

Can we start on a monthly basis? What happens if my child does not enjoy the course? Are sibling discounts available? What is included in the price?

We offer: - Monthly membership (flexible, cancel anytime) - Full package for the entire course (best price; can be paused for holidays) If your child does not enjoy the course, you can: - Try another course or day - Change locations - Cancel the monthly membership at any time - Start with a free trial lesson Sibling discounts: 10–15% depending on the course.

Python Coding & Female Empowerment – Girls’Day 2025 Berlin

💻 Girls'Day Berlin 2025: Empowerment & Python – Exploring the Future with Code and Cinema

Python Emoji Challenge & Hidden Figures – Tech, Role Models, and Strong Voices at Potsdamer Platz

During our second workshop on Girls’Day 2025, Train the Future focused on Python programming, strong female role models, and the power of self-confidence. 14 participants enjoyed an inspiring day in Berlin at Potsdamer Platz connecting technology and empowerment.

🎬 Daily Schedule:

Opening circle: “Which woman inspires you?”
Screening of the film “Hidden Figures”
Group dialogue on role models and career aspirations in STEM
Interactive coding workshop: Python Emoji Challenge

Following an in-depth discussion about the historical hurdles women faced in STEM professions, our founder Sama Tanveer shared personal insights from her career in technology. Then came hands-on coding: With the Python Emoji Challenge, the girls learned fundamental programming logic while creating playful, expressive mini-programs.

Due to overwhelming demand (with over 60 girls on the waitlist), we expanded our weekend workshop schedule to welcome more young female coders.

“I thought programming was only for boys – but Girls’Day was so cool, and now I really want to learn more!” – Participant, 11 years old
