My child is too young, can they attend with their older sibling?

The minimum age of each program is set to ensure that children attending have the mathematical and problem-solving skills to successfully code and keep up with the pace of the program. Younger children tend to fall behind and can end up frustrated which can have an impact on the rest of the class. Additionally, as the course is online it is difficult for us to control any sibling arguments and as such we do not recommend this.
