In their words
What young learners say
Shapeways has been life-changing for me. Not only am I earning money teaching children to code, but the program has helped me build the confidence and public-speaking skills I need to pursue my dream of studying game design at Hampton University. The supportive, family-like atmosphere here is incredible. Everyone is focused on the success of the whole team, and I know I have a boost toward succeeding in my future courses because of it.
Molly Alderidge
Programme graduate, UK
Taking part in the programme gave me the opportunity to strengthen my programming skills, gain practical experience teaching coding to younger children, and build my confidence. I developed my knowledge of languages such as JavaScript and PHP while learning in a welcoming and supportive community. The experience strengthened my ambition to study Computer Science at university and showed me how valuable it is to learn, share knowledge and grow together.

Programme graduate, UK
Taking part in the Decode My Future programme allowed me to secure a job as a content creator, which then led me into video editing. From that opportunity I became programme coordinator for Business Launchpad, and I’m now working in SEN schools, supporting students who find it difficult to engage in the classroom.
