FAQ

What is Launchpad?2023-08-23T17:51:04+12:00

Launchpad is a family run business that aims to train and provide resources for teachers on how to implement Digital Technologies into their classroom routine. We want to encourage children to have the opportunities to become creators within digital technologies and not just users on digital devices.

What does the Early Access membership mean?2023-08-23T17:52:58+12:00

Early Access is essentially our way to get teachers to try out our courses and resources before we launch in January 2024. It’s a limited time only to get all our content at a massively discounted price, and it’s only open for a set amount of teachers. You’ll have access to all our courses for an entire year, along with all future courses we create in that time. You’ll even receive access to all of our classroom resources for FREE!
The purpose of early access is to test our content to a small number of teachers, receive feedback and make changes where necessary. You’ll also be able to have a say in what type of courses you want to see created.

Are the courses for children or teachers?2023-08-11T11:05:49+12:00

Our courses are aimed for teachers rather than children. We want to help train teachers to become confident facilitators within the digital curriculum. We want to help teachers understand how the digital curriculum can be broken down and then taught throughout Elementary and Middle School (Primary and Intermediate), and enable teachers to be confident in what they are teaching and the core coding concepts that they are instilling.
