IT for Kids — IT Course for Children
A two-year tiered program: from block-based logic to real code, with the child's own project at the end of each semester and a report to parents.
Log Academy's IT course for kids in Baku is a two-year, step-by-step program for school children aged 7–14. Your child starts with block-based logic in Scratch, then moves on to Python, web development, Arduino, robotics and artificial intelligence. Classes run in offline groups only, and every semester ends with the child's own project and a report for parents.
Which ages is it for, and how is the program structured?
The program is designed for ages 7–14 and is split into two years. Year one builds core skills: computer literacy, algorithmic thinking, Scratch, HTML and CSS, Python, Arduino and JavaScript. Year two is about applying and specializing: robotics, artificial intelligence, computer vision, mobile apps, games and 3D design. Each module builds on the one before it, so your child moves forward step by step rather than in sudden jumps.
Classes are built around hands-on practice: children learn through games and projects, and theory is kept short and concrete. The classroom runs on a "mistakes are normal" culture, so an error becomes something to find and fix rather than something to fear. Every module includes at least one team project, and every topic answers the question "where do we use this in real life?". Groups have 8–12 children, so the teacher has time for each one.
What will your child build, and how do they learn to stay safe online?
Coding for kids here is measured by results you can actually see. In year one your child makes a Scratch animation and adventure game, a personal web page, a calculator and a rock-paper-scissors game in Python, plus a traffic light and an automatic night light with Arduino. At the end of the year they publish their own portfolio website. Year two adds an obstacle-avoiding robot, a hand-gesture recognition model, an Android app and parts for 3D printing.
Digital safety starts in the very first module. Children learn to create strong passwords, spot phishing messages and protect their personal information. The artificial intelligence module covers AI ethics, including bias, privacy and responsibility, and how to use ChatGPT properly. Soldering and similar robotics tasks are done only under the teacher's supervision. The goal is not to scare children but to help them behave thoughtfully and confidently online.
How do parents follow progress, and how do you get started?
Every semester ends with your child's own project and a report for parents. On top of that, there is a short parent meeting every month, you can look through your child's personal progress journal, and an open project showcase takes place twice a year. Assessment is based on weekly practical tasks, module projects, participation in class and oral or written checks. At the end of year two there is a Demo Day and a certificate.
Start with a free consultation: in about 20 minutes we talk through your child's age, interests and current level. Then your child comes to class. The first lesson is free, so you can decide based on how your child actually feels about it. Classes are held offline in Baku, at Ülvi Bünyadzadə 2. Call +994 50 700 60 70 or message us on WhatsApp.

Frequently asked questions
At what age can my child start?
The program is for school children aged 7–14. Younger children find it easy to start with Scratch, because they snap blocks together instead of typing code. Older children also go through the first module's basics, they simply move faster. We work out together which group suits your child during a free consultation.
Does my child need any prior knowledge?
No special preparation is needed. The first module starts with how a computer, an operating system and the internet work, and then coding for kids continues in Scratch. The move to real code, meaning Python, HTML and JavaScript, happens gradually. What matters most is curiosity and attending classes regularly.
Are classes available online?
No, IT for Kids runs in offline groups only. Working with Arduino, sensors and robot kits needs a hands-on setting, and tasks such as soldering are done under the teacher's direct supervision. Each group has 8–12 children, which leaves room for both teamwork and individual attention for every child.
How many hours a week are the classes?
According to the program, classes take 4 hours a week: 2 hours on Saturday and 2 hours on Sunday. Each module lasts about two months and ends with its own project. This rhythm lets your child make steady progress and apply what they learn straight away. We confirm the right group for your child during the consultation.
How can parents see their child's progress?
Each semester ends with your child's project and a report for parents. There is a short parent meeting every month, you can view your child's progress journal, and an open project showcase is held twice a year. At the end of year one your child presents a portfolio website; at the end of year two they present at Demo Day and receive a certificate.
How do we get started?
Call +994 50 700 60 70 or message us on WhatsApp to book a free consultation. We learn about your child's age and interests and suggest a suitable group. The first lesson is free: your child sees for themselves what a coding for kids class is like, and you decide after that.
