Reviews
The opportunity to open a new world for the child, the world of games and animation from the point of view of the creators. The project gives the child the opportunity to unleash his creativity and try to create their own product. I am glad that we have such a relevant project in Cyprus! It also gives new acquaintances and communication for children and families... This is a useful experience for both children and their parents.
For me, this is an opportunity to show the child that the games you can not only play, but also create yourself + this is an additional development of fantasy, expansion of horizons, logical thinking.
The child’s chance to learn something new, to be immersed in creativity. Also the opportunity to learn new places in Cyprus which is useful for newcomers.
The kids were engaged and enjoying the lessons. The teachers were also very pleasant and patient with the kids.
Very friendly, pleasant atmosphere in the classes, great tutors, my daughter attends with great pleasure! And thank you so much for the opportunity to participate in the IT festivals, a very interesting and useful experience for the child!
What I liked best was the child engagement and skill development in programming through a playful approach.
Genuine interest and delight of the most expensive!
KidIT transformed my child's relationship with technology. They are now creating games and learning valuable skills
The immersive experiences and innovative educators at KidIT have given my child a head start in tech education.
Children receive a lot of interesting knowledge and begin to think in a new way. We, as parents, are very glad that the children have the opportunity to develop in a new direction, in which we ourselves could not offer them anything.
I think I’m waiting for Sunday even more than my daughter. An incredibly interesting, sincere and fun parent party, along with an educational and interesting pastime for the child. I am happy that such an initiative of high quality in every sense as KidIt appeared on the island.
The child tries to do something himself, even if these are simple things, but himself... does not watch videos on YouTube, but makes his own toy trying to improve as best he can.
