Game Dev Architect: Python to TypeScript
What comes after Modder. Advanced Python opens out into TypeScript, and the work happens alongside a mentor rather than in front of a worksheet.
For members who have finished Modder, and for older members and grown-ups working at the same level. Our mentors take you, or your child, from intermediate Python all the way through to TypeScript.
Mentors answer by text and video message during the week, not only in the live hour, which is when most advanced coding questions actually turn up.
All the way to TypeScript!
Beyond Modder
Hacker is where code starts to make sense, and Modder is where a child starts writing it. Architect is where that turns into building things properly, with someone who has already done it sitting alongside.
the deep end, with a lifeguardAdvanced Python
Where Modder's sixth level finishes, Architect carries on into the parts of Python that are about how a program is built, not only about what it does on screen.
Up to TypeScript
The step out of Python and into TypeScript, one of the languages behind the tools our members are already building in.
Alongside a mentor
Architects work with a STEM-certified mentor on what they are actually trying to make, rather than working through a set exercise.
Advanced, ages 16 to grown-up
Architect is the one stage that is not only for children. Parents who started out helping at the kitchen table, and older members who have run out of Modder, work at the same level.
- At your own pace. No fixed hour, in any time zone, picking it up whenever suits.
- Mentor support all week. Mentors answer by text and video message, which is when most advanced questions actually turn up.
- No minimum term. Monthly rolling membership, no sign-up fee, cancel any time.

The whole award ladder
Hacker, then Modder, then Architect. Every level earns a STEM-certified certificate, and the levels are the same whichever club you are in.

Why we come back to the same ideas at a deeper level each time, and how that turns into real coding skill rather than remembered steps.
