Module 2. Motion Design
Animation is fun not only to watch but also to create! However, where do you start? How is animation done, and what is motion design?
Motion design represents graphics in motion, the "animation" of images. The animated texts and images encountered in games, YouTube videos, cartoons, and movies are the result of the work of a motion designer. Every day, people increasingly prefer the video format over other types of content, which is why we've developed a course that combines multiple skills relevant to Generation Z. This module is intended for creative children who want to learn how to create animations and animate characters. We'll start from the simplest, so that anyone can join in learning motion design.

Parent, Sana
I checked with Aariz and he told me he really likes doing the coding classes and quite happy with the teaching method. I'm also happy to get the feedback on him.
Parent, Erdal
Hi Daniela, I'm very well and hope you're too. Firstly, Ali Denis really loves coding and your lessons/school. We want him to keep come to lessons.
I initially bought it for my son for one month, and he loved it so much that I ended up getting eight more months. It's incredible beneficial, my son loves it a lot, and how he wants to go every day. I highly recommend it.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Our coding courses are designed such that any learner with no previous coding knowledge can easily follow along. Our courses are specifically tailored for different age groups and different levels of coding knowledge, which will be perfectly suitable for kids with no previous coding experience, some experience or more advanced knowledge in coding.
Children can begin learning coding languages as early as 5 years old. The sooner the better - our coding courses are focused on practical activities, where the aim is for the kids to develop the key technical skills to further excel in this industry.
For in-person classes, your child will be provided with all the technology required, so no need to bring anything. For online classes, your child only needs a laptop/computer equipped with a working webcam and a stable internet connection.
Impact A&C is an international tech education organisation, founded 7 years ago, and currently has over 60 branches across Europe and more than 20,000 graduates. We are trusted partners of a number of prestigious schools with whom we work, trusted and recommended by 98% of parents. We partner with large organisations like Amazon to continually improve our coding courses and ensure they cover the latest tech developments.
Yes, we do offer great flexibility with our learning schedule. We have multiple options for in-person and online live classes - weekdays or weekends, multiple time slots. We will always strive to meet parents’ and kids’ personal needs and offer the options of switching groups, days or timings.
GREAT NEWS - we are registered with OFSTED on their voluntary register for our branch in Stratford, at Sarah Bonnell School. You now have the option to use childcare vouchers towards our Impact tech educational courses. Get in touch with us via the phone numbers listed on our website, or submit a form and one of our Impact consultants will help you out.
Each coding course, specifically designed for different age groups, is 9 months long covering 3 different modules. The course if perfectly aligned to the school academic year. During each term, your child will learn a new module (12 lessons) finishing with a project fair, where we invite parents in and kids are presenting their final project and what they learned during each module. Our online live classes, as well as the in-person classes are 2h long. We find the 2h is the optimal time for the kids to apply the theory in practice and work on building their own tech project. This way, they develop the necessary skill set, better understand the theory and get more creative when developing their projects (i.e. creating their own game, animation, website, app etc.)
We offer options to join our coding courses on weekdays afternoon or weekends (with options between 9:30-19:00).
We offer options to join our coding courses on weekdays afternoon or weekends (with options between 9:30-19:00).
We take pride in delivering courses that are both academic and most importantly, fun. No matter which class, your child will come away having learnt a lot, but not through ‘rote’. We have top quality tutors who are great at engaging children and inspiring them. This is not about ‘playing games’ all day.
Coding has been called "the literacy of the 21st century” for good reason. Just like math, science, and literature, coding is a key aspect of understanding our technologically advanced world. There’s a huge need for a generation that not only understands technology, but how it works. Regardless of whether your kids one day pursue a career in coding, Impact A&C teaches them confidence, logic, resourcefulness, and problem solving skills that will serve them for the rest of their lives in any industry where they will need to apply their knowledge in technology.
It’s great that schools offer computer education, but they are often under-resourced and are unable to offer the sophisticated ongoing coding curriculum that kids need. Parents who want their kids to get ahead and learn coding properly are turning to Impact A&C. We offer advanced project-led activities, where kids will learn coding and develop their own game, graphic design project, website, app, animation etc.
Impact Centers are open to kids after school on weekdays or weekends. Please call or submit a form on our website and one of our consultants will give you all the details.
Absolutely! We encourage parents to watch their kids from outside the classroom to see how they perform during the class, and at the end of each lesson we welcome the parents in to see their kids’ projects, as they are eager to proudly show what they have created during the lesson.
At Impact A&C locations, your child's safety is our highest priority. We always conduct our classes on school premises and ensure that all procedures and policies are being followed to maintain a secure space for your kids. All our teachers are fully trained, DBS checked and have the necessary experience to work with kids.
We have multiple groups, and we keep them small—generally 8 to 10 children per group. For larger groups (up to 15 children), we have both a teacher and an assistant in the classroom to ensure that every child receives individual attention and support.
1 session a week. 120 minutes (2 hours) per session.
Your child will create their first project after the trial lesson, and you'll be convinced of the quality of our teaching.
