good at programming. Besides their programming knowledge, they are also
patient, helpful, and know how to communicate with children
At Ideal Computer Services, we have 1.5-hour (2x45 minutes) lessons three times a week. Lessons can be on weekdays, starting from 9:00 AM or from 3:00 PM. On Saturday mornings from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM. The timetable of lessons may very from this schedule.
Providing digital education within the age range of 2 - 18 years such as coding, digital creator and programming topics
Most children and teenagers within the age range of 2-18 years in Nigeria lack access to edtech training such as coding and other programming topics.
About 30+ exciting digital creator or programming topics are not covered in traditional Nigerian school, thus denying most children and Teenagers knowledge of coding and other programming topics.
Nigerian children and teenagers are far behind in coding and programming topics skills compared to their counterparts from other parts of the world mostly Europe and United States of America.
Information and Communication Technology Training in Nigeria today are seen as luxury especially the lower class that constitute about 70% of the entire population. Thus denying the lower class the privilege to acquire ICT training and skills.
As the world is going global with the aid of Information and Communication Technology, most under privileged children and teenagers in Nigeria with the age range of 2-18 years are left behind just because they cannot afford the cost to acquire the training or unable to access how to go about the training as most of them cannot connect to internet as they don't have access to internet facilities.
The problem is quite enormous as greater percentage of Nigeria population are made of lower class that cannot have access to quality education.
We provide a new adventure for children and teenagers to learn something awesome. Select from 30+ exciting digital creator or programming topics not covered in traditional Nigerian schools

Ideal Computer Services is a fun-based coding school where kids and teens can acquire digital literacy in a fun, playful way, as well as try themselves at
computer coding, robotics, and many other digital topics essential in
the 21st century.
We are committed to helping children acquire and develop their digital literacy. Besides, our after-school courses and camps, we provide extracurricular activities for kids and teens.
During our research, we discovered that more and more parents are aware that learning computer science early is very important. We need to teach our children the knowledge and skills they need to become digitally literate. Alongside e-safety and online communication, it involves conscious computer usage, critical information processing and most importantly becoming creative content creators from passive users. Children should become confident creators in the digital environment.
Formative research was applied for the purpose of this and it helps to demonstrate the effectiveness of our solution.
Based on research, our courses establish a solid foundation of digital literacy and coding knowledge while improving children’s way of analytical and creative thinking. Our modules and topics successfully facilitate a more established and thorough learning experience for children and Teenagers.
kids and Teens have tremendous fun while learning useful knowledge. Choose from the vast variety of our offerings in today’s trendy topics.
We always developed with kids ad teens in mind. To give them the best experience at any age and knowledge level, the best path to success. It is not only part of our curriculum but also the main element of our methodology
our courses establish a solid foundation of digital literacy and coding

1. What do we do to develops a child's interest in coding and robotics?
2. Does it worth letting children learn robotics especially the disadvantaged in parts of Nigeria?
3. should robotics become a part of the curriculum?
- Formative research (e.g. usability studies; feasibility studies; case studies; user interviews; implementation studies; pre-post or multi-measure research; correlational studies)
Our desired output are as follows:
Programming languages are various sets of instructions to communicate with a computer. Through programming languages, people can make themselves understandable for their computers. If you would like to write a computer program, you should first learn the appropriate programming language.
Although programming languages differ from usual human languages and are primarily used to communicate with computers, programming specialists can communicate with each other by using these special codes.
Programming languages convert letters, numbers, and signs in series, that are not understandable to non-experts, into codes that are an obvious way of communication with the computer.
At Ideal Computer Services, a special programming language, the StageScript (Javascript optimalized for educational purposes), is used on a special education platform, Scoolcode, on 3 different levels to teach children coding. First level, BLOX is ideal to introduce even to the youngest (6+ years old children) to learn the basic principles of programming. With the visual building blocks of BLOX, children can pick up the main points of programming and become able to code their computer games. Through playful and practical tasks, this learning process seems to them a fun game rather than a complicated classroom exercise.
When children feel comfortable with using BLOX level, they can deepen their knowledge. The next step in StageScript is called MIX. With this level, the coding for children is taught in a unique way: the combination of the visual building blocks and the text-based programming language can both be seen on the screen. The third level of StageScript is TEXT, where only a simplified text-based programming is used.
With the well-structured curriculum of Logiscool, teaching coding for children has become a real and feasible goal. By their teenage years, children are ready to learn text-based programming languages such as Python, C#, if they had started learning the basic programming principles in their 6-9th years.
However, at Ideal Computer Services we say, that it is never too late to start getting to know how to program! Kids at the age of 12-14 years can begin to learn programming with the visual BLOX as well. Since older kids probably have a deeper pre-knowledge in IT, the introductory “chapters” are going to be much shorter for them.
Curiosity is the joy of discovery, and the motivation to seek answers to the unknown. It's an ancient, natural instinct, a vital tool of personal development which can also be observed in the animal world. It's closely connected to neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to reorganize itself in reaction to external stimulus.
Childhood neuroplasticity, called critical plasticity, and the curiosity which exploits it, are the keys to early development. A child can learn their parents' language without any effort, simply by hearing it all the time. Small children can learn almost anything the same way, "on their own": from family habits through favorite film soundtracks to skiing. However, the brain only works this way for a limited time, as critical plasticity ceases by the teenage years. It is replaced by competitive plasticity, which means that the brain only "switches on" this type of learning method when the information is important to the person. Therefore, it's a good idea to take advantage of curiosity and increased learning ability at an early age, as the opportunity will eventually be lost.
