Hi, I’m Julie, the franchisor of TechyTots, an award-winning franchise that teaches coding skills to children aged 3 to 11. TechyTots inspires young minds through hands-on, screen-free learning. I am passionate about inspiring the next generation.

I’m excited to be part of the What’s On 4 Kids Innovate UK project. This project is close to my heart because it bridges that gap, giving grandparents the chance to actively engage in their grandchildren’s learning. Having asked my mum to look after my children when they were younger I know how important grandparents are. With TechyTots, I feel we also have the unique opportunity to help grandparents improve their own digital skills while teaching children the basics of coding. It’s a wonderful way to bring families closer together and ensure everyone benefits from the magic of learning through play.
