ICEskool Is Now a Validated Children’s University Learning Destination

We are proud to share that ICEskool is now a validated Children’s University Learning Destination.
It is great news for the children and families who learn with us.
At ICEskool, we have always believed that learning does not only happen in school. Some of the most valuable learning happens when children are curious, engaged, and given the chance to build, experiment, solve problems, and create something with their own hands. That is exactly what we aim to provide through our robotics, coding, and AI sessions.
Being recognised by the Children’s University means that the learning children do with us outside school hours is now also being formally celebrated and recognised.

What Is the Children’s University?

The Children’s University is an organisation that encourages children to take part in high-quality learning experiences outside the classroom. Children collect credits in their Passport to Learning, and these credits can contribute towards special milestones and even graduation ceremonies.

This makes learning even more exciting and meaningful. It shows children that the time they spend developing new skills, exploring ideas, and trying something challenging really matters.

Why This Matters for Children

At ICEskool, children do much more than just sit and watch.
They build robots, explore coding, solve practical challenges, work together, test ideas, make mistakes, improve, and try again. In the process, they develop skills that are becoming more and more important in the modern world:
  • problem-solving
  • creativity
  • logical thinking
  • resilience
  • teamwork
  • confidence with technology
These are not just “nice extras.” They are valuable life skills.
In a world where technology, robotics, and AI are changing the future very quickly, children need opportunities to understand and explore these areas in a practical and inspiring way. We want children to feel that technology is something they can create with, not just consume.

Why This Matters for Parents

For parents, this validation gives extra reassurance that your child is taking part in a learning experience that is recognised, meaningful, and beneficial.
It is not just a fun club, although fun is a very important part of what we do.
It is also a place where children can grow in confidence, gain real skills, and now receive recognition for the effort they put in. For many children, that recognition can be highly motivating. It gives them a sense of progress and achievement and helps them feel proud of what they are learning.

What This Means at ICEskool

As a validated Children’s University Learning Destination, children attending ICEskool can collect credits for their learning with us.
That means that every session is not only a chance to enjoy robotics, coding, and AI, but also part of a wider learning journey that can be celebrated over time.
We are delighted that the work we do has been recognised in this way, and we are proud of our team for continuing to create sessions that are:
  • fun
  • practical
  • hands-on
  • inspiring
  • future-focused

Looking Ahead

This is just one more step in our mission to help children discover the world of technology in a creative, engaging, and accessible way.
We are excited to see our students grow, learn, collect credits, and feel proud of their achievements.
Thank you to all the families who support us and to every child who comes to ICEskool ready to build, explore, and learn.
We cannot wait to continue this journey with you.
