THE DIGITAL SKILLS CLUB FOR KIDS 8+

Turning tech into talent

Where screentime meets creativity - a space for tomorrow's pioneers.

DON'T WAIT UNTIL BRAINROT SETS!

You’ve seen it: you give your child a device only for them to waste hours scrolling, gaming, and mindlessly watching videos (how do they not get bored?).


I'm sure you're aware of the many potential dangers:

❌ Content that is extreme or just doesn't make sense

❌ Constant ads trying to turn your child into an obsessed consumer

❌ Ease of access to videos and ideas that are NOT age appropriate


But what if there was a way to inspire them to use screentime more productively, WITHOUT banning it altogether?


What if your child's phone, tablet or laptop could spark creativity, build confidence, and give them skills they’ll use in the future?

Finding the right balance with tech isn't always easy

  • Trying to limit your child’s screen use without turning it into a battle.
  • Wishing they would spend their screentime learning or creating something valuable.
  • Struggling to find ways to introduce practical skills like coding or design that actually engage them.
  • Feeling overwhelmed by the options and not sure where to start.

It’s no wonder many parents feel stuck between frustration and guilt when it comes to technology at home.

As a parent of kids who love their screentime, I know the challenges of balancing fun and healthy habits. You don't want your child to miss out, yet you don't want them sucked into the bad side of tech either.

INTRODUCING:

MEET YOUR GUIDE

A coding lesson at age 9 sparked something

Hey, I'm Ruqayyah - founder and fellow parent.

Those lessons opened my mind to a new way to use tech, leading to a fulfilling 14+ year career. Now a parent myself, I know firsthand the challenges of raising kids in a world of constant consumption and harmful content disguised as child-friendly.


That is my inspiration for launching the Growing Pioneer Digital Skills Club, to enable children to experience stepping behind the scenes, taking control, and becoming creators instead of passive consumers.


It’s not just another app; it’s a community of like-minded families using technology to shape their futures instead of letting it shape them.

Frequently Asked Questions

What will my child learn in the Digital Skills Club?

Your child will explore a variety of creative skills (such coding, graphic design, animation) and interactive sessions on thought provoking topics such as historical stories, entrepreneurship and media analysis. All designed to give them the tools, mindset and confidence to get creative and have a healthy relationship with tech. The club is run like an online community with regular live sessions and a space where they can share their creations and access updates (with parental guidance). All of the content and skills that we focus on are designed to inspire creativity and build a foundation for hobbies or future careers.

How much time will my child need to dedicate to this program?

The Digital Skills Club is designed for busy families. Your child can join live sessions or catch up on-demand at a time that works for you. We'd suggest dedicating 2 hours per week on attending live sessions and/or using the resources/completing activities.

How is this different from buying a course or getting a private tutor?

This membership is very different from following a course or having private classes with a tutor. Here's how:


1. We don't just focus on practical skills. The education side of this membership balances learning practical skills like graphic design or coding with topics such as the development of technology over time and how marketing/advertising targets children during their screentime. There is a big emphasis on helping your child change their approach to screentime to taking a leadership/creative role - learning how to be principled and disciplined when it comes to their choice of entertainment and beyond.


2. You are joining a community. For yourself as a parent - with other parents that care about how technology is used in their home, and for your child - to be amongst peers in a positive and uplifting environment. All of the sessions are live (unless you're catching the replay) and encourage active participation with the instructor and between the other kids. Your child will also be encouraged to share their creations for feedback in the community space.


3. It's a mindset. Helping your child shift from consumer mode to creator mode requires more than the know-how of creating with tech. They need positive examples, recognition for their efforts and talent, and content that inspires them to think for themselves and try new things. This is why we incorporated the teamwork element of the group activities, where we work on communication and collaboration skills alongside the creative.

What kind of support is available during the sessions?

Our workshops and courses are conducted in smaller groups and very interactive, using a conferencing tool that allows active participation for your child, such as screen sharing, drawing and quizzes. All sessions are led by experienced mentors who guide and support children directly.

Is the content safe and appropriate for kids?

Absolutely! All content is carefully curated to be age-appropriate and aligned with our mission of ethical technology use.

What will my child need to participate?

A computer or tablet with internet access is all they need. Some sessions may recommend free software or basic supplies (for example, your child would need access to a laptop or PC for graphic design classes), but we’ll guide you through everything step by step.

How do you keep kids engaged in the program?

With a mix of challenges, group projects, and hands-on activities, we ensure every child stays inspired and excited to create. Plus, our community aspect encourages collaboration and sharing.

How does the program address healthy screen habits?

We weave lessons on responsible tech use into the curriculum through the live sessions, resources and recommendations. The club doesn't just focus on learning skills - but empowers your child to use devices as tools for creation, and have fun with it!

Will my child get a portfolio or certification?

Yes, they will build a portfolio! Many of the projects your child completes can be showcased in a personal portfolio, demonstrating their progress and achievements.

Can I try the membership before committing?

There is no trial period for the Digital Skills Club, but we will be releasing some tasters for you to experience how we conduct our live sessions and inspire kids to get into the driver's seat. Join the waitlist for updates.


If you do join, you can cancel your membership at any time before the next billing cycle. You'll continue to have access until the end of your current pay period.

Is the program suitable for all skill levels?

Definitely! As long as your child can use a laptop or tablet independently, our sessions cater to all levels and help them progress at their own pace.
