What ages can join

We accept ninjas (children) between ages 7 and 17.

Can I leave my children unattended?

Children under 12 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian that stays in the room with them. One adult can accompany several children. Children over the age of 12 can be unaccompanied.

Do I need a laptop for my child?

Each ninja should have their own laptop, where possible.

We have a small number of loaner laptops which are available, but numbers are limited and demand usually outstrips supply.

Can you recommend a laptop?

It’s not possible for us to comment on devices except the ones we personally own. There are many product comparison websites that can help you choose the best device in your price range.

Can I help?

Volunteers are always welcome. At the simplest level, just circulating the room and checking where ninjas might be getting stuck is extremely useful. If you have have IT skills, being a mentor is highly rewarding. Come along and talk to existing mentors.
