Today, students study technology that will be relevant in future

Codu

Kids will be developing games for PC by learning basic coding. They'll be able to create their own characters, write their behavior, think through the logics of their own digital worlds and write stories for them.

Construct

With this engine there's no need in coding but creativity and love for gaming. Children will advance their logical and critical thinking as well as their ability to construct a thought and to tell a visual story.

Minecraft

Learn in the world of blocks! Game's environment will help the kid to keep their focus on educating a n d awake interest in science, technology a n d math.

10- 14 years old

We have created an environment where learning is comfortable and interesting to every child. Our classes are well-equipped with up-to-date technology.

Click Fusion 2.5

Students will develop their own arcade game for any platform: iOS, Android, Windows, Mac and many others. More complicated games could be created with this tool and bigger ideas can be executed.

Build box

Buildbox is a great start at game development a s it doesn't require programming skills. We'll learn to make games for mobile phones. Also we will get familiar with the world of 3D modeling!

Unity 3D

Testing, debugging, coming up with fresh ideas and making creative decisions - kids will learn what it's like to be a 3D game developer in practice!

14- 17 years old

We do not have lectures and abstracts. We learn through practice. Each class is an adventure, where a child has fun, as well as learn something new and useful.

Why do parents choose us?

In today's modern classrooms, each student is gifted their own personal space, seamlessly integrated with interactive boards and ready-to-assemble kits for both Lego and Arduino projects. A fusion of tradition and innovation, it's where the magic of learning truly comes to life

Children learn complex things with simple and understandable examples. This is facilitated by an adaptive approach and gamification of learning.

Knowledge is gradually acquired and formed into a system with each month and course of study.

It is important for us that the information and tasks that we give are interesting for children.

Knowledge is gradually acquired and formed into a system with each month and course of study.

Each lesson is aimed at a practical result.

Knowledge is acquired much more efficiently - the child immediately understands exactly how he can apply it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What document / certificate will I receive upon completion?

Upon graduation you will receive a certificate of completion and an international diploma. You will also have the opportunity to receive certificates from KHDA (Knowledge and Human Development Authority)

Do I need to buy my own PC / other kit for learning?

No, it's not necessary. The child gets a personal space, which includes a computer, the necessary set of LEGO, Arduino, and so forth, allowing the child to freely engage in the class without the need to purchase an additional kit for learning.

How can I choose the suitable course for me?

If you find it difficult to choose the course that is best for you, you can contact our representative to get more information about the courses that match your interests.

Will there be homework and how long will it take?

Homework is entirely practical. This is not required, but is recommended for maximum understanding and memorization of the learning material.

How can I track my child progress?

The child's progress can be tracked through the student's system MyStat. MyStat is a unique service for students, developed and used by the STEP IT Institute (itstep.org). In MyStat, a student and parent fully controls their learning. MyStat allows: • viewing the schedule of classes and additional professional events that are held at the Institute; • receiving news: messages about important events at a specific branch and at the Institute as a whole; • seeing progress and achievements: grades for various types of work and trends in learning outcomes; • leaving comments about the lesson: the teacher's work, the topic, the presentation of material - and getting additional points for this in gamification.

What type of discounts you have?

At the moment we have an early bird discount and sibling discount. You can make an enquiry for more information

Where are you located?

We are located in Dubai Knowledge Park - it's a home to professional development and vocational training companies. We have opened our new branch in Abu Dhabi Makeen Tower, near Abu Dhabi Mall.

Do you have an accreditation by local authority?

Yes, STEP IT Institute is accredited by the KHDA. The Knowledge and Human Development Authority was established in 2006 with the aim to develop the education and human resource sector in Dubai. The KHDA has set high standards of quality of education and it ensures that they are met in the Dubai region. The KHDA supports schools, universities, students, parents, investors and educators to give birth to a high quality education sector that is highly focused on wellbeing and happiness. We feel honored to be accredited by KHDA and this only makes us even more credible and trust worthy.

My kid is already a student at STEP IT, but we're planning to move to another country. Can we transfer to another branch?

Of course! STEP IT has a large network of branches, wherever you may be relocating from Cambodia to the USA - if STEP IT has a branch there, you can transfer to it. For detailed information, contact the academic coordinator.

We live far from your location, do you offer transfers?

STEP IT is not offering any transfers at the moment, but we can help you organize a personal transfer via the Careem service.
