Whizzkids Drumlish Community Childcare CLG

WhizzKids Drumlish Community Childcare Company Limited by Guarantee has been at the forefront of digital‑skills training for young people in Ireland since 2003. The organisation delivers engaging, hands‑on courses for children and teenagers aged 8‑15, both in‑person at over 70 schools and at ten third‑level campuses—including UCD, DCU, Maynooth, MTU, UL, NUIG and TUS Limerick—as well as through a comprehensive online learning platform.

Their flagship offering is the WhizzKids Summer Camp, a series of STEM‑focused programmes that teach coding (Python, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Scratch), design software (Gravit, App Inventor, SketchUp, Kodu, Tinkercad, Microbits) and visual‑art tools (Inkscape, Pivot, Pencil). In addition, WhizzKids runs specialised events such as the Halloween Thinkspace in Naas and provides mobile IT units for schools, supplying a curriculum, a laptop for every pupil and teacher support for one‑day, modular or year‑round programmes. Partnerships with bodies such as the Irish Computer Society, Engineers Ireland and the Galway Science Festival underline their commitment to making STEM accessible and fun for all learners.
