Most kids think coding is for "smart kids" or "future programmers."
It's not. Coding is how real people solve real problems.
In this class, we skip the theory. Your child creates real things.

What they'll do:
✓ Build real projects in Scratch: a working game, an interactive animation, a story they coded
✓ Program virtual robots: solve real-world challenges (navigate a maze, automate a task, build a system)
✓ Create in Minecraft Education: design worlds, automate constructions, solve logic problems
✓ Experiment with different languages: not just learn "the right way," but understand that there are many ways to think about a problem
✓ Collaborate and share: work with other kids, get feedback, improve their work
✓ Develop logical thinking: not just for coding, but for anything: solving math problems, science challenges, real-world situations

Why this is different:
We don't teach syntax. We teach how programmers think.
Most children's coding courses say "here's the code, copy it." We teach "what problem are we trying to solve? How could we break it into steps? What options do we have?"
When your child learns to think like a programmer, they can learn any language afterward.

What they take home:
A portfolio of 3–4 completed, working projects. The ability to say "I built this." And the deep understanding that code is a tool to make real things happen.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60–90 min sessions | Flexible pace, no prior experience needed
For curious 8-12 year olds who want to build.

This course is designed to help you achieve professional-level results directly in-camera, eliminating reliance on post-production. Drawing on my 11 years of international experience (8 years in Colombia and 3 years leading and training teams of photographers in the United States), I have developed a practical method focused on mastering the art of photography.

What will you learn?

Solid foundation for beginners: If you're starting out, I'll give you the technical and conceptual tools to build a profitable career in the product world, teaching you to produce with professional rigor from day one.

Advanced techniques for photographers: If you already have experience, we will raise your level by mastering the physics of light, total control of reflections on complex surfaces (glass, metal, liquids) and the use of precision optics to avoid distortions.

My approach is practical and focused on business results. You'll learn to understand light and sensor behavior to deliver flawless images that meet the demands of any global market.

Learn how to set up digital art and designs for CMYK printing.

Setting up documents to include bleed from the get-go, create rich blacks, colour sample RGB colours and find closest CMYK matches or identify unprintable colours.

There isn’t anything more disappointing as a designer, than sending off a design you’re proud of to a print company and receiving back a product that is dull, has a white edge you weren't expecting or shows a mish mash of black shades that looked the same on-screen.

I can teach you how to set up your work so it’s right from the start.

Spot signs of when the printing has gone wrong, such as out-of-register printing and colour variations throughout the print run on the product you have received.

This course is aimed at photographers and visual creators who want to take their images beyond capture, developing a professional editing workflow and their own visual identity.

Throughout these sessions, we will learn to use the fundamental tools of Adobe Lightroom Classic to optimize photo quality, correct technical issues, and enhance their visual impact. We will work from organizing and selecting images to advanced digital development, retouching, and final adjustments for printing or digital publication.

In addition to the technical aspects, the course places special emphasis on developing a coherent and personal aesthetic. We will analyze visual references, the use of color, contrast, light, and atmosphere to understand how to transform a photograph into an image with its own character and language.
