What is Tech Tigers?
Tech Tigers is the childcare and wraparound part of Hyett Education. In after-school and holiday clubs, children are looked after by trained Tech Tigers club staff. Play is child-led: lots of different hands-on STEM activities are set out as continuous provision, so children can follow their interests and try something new.
Tech Tigers clubs are led by trained Tech Tigers club staff. Hyett Education, the organisation behind Tech Tigers, separately offers full-day workshops for schools across the UK, led by expert teachers, alongside computing professional development and consultancy.

After-School Clubs
Tech Tigers after-school clubs run during term time, typically one day per week. Schools can partner with us to host a Tech Tigers club on their premises. Tech Tigers provides trained club staff, the agreed activity plan and the specialist activity equipment and materials stated for the club. The host school provides the agreed suitable room, tables, chairs, power and any required connectivity, and retains its normal safeguarding and site duties. Responsibilities for registration, parent communications and collection arrangements are agreed before the club starts.
If your school is interested in hosting a Tech Tigers after-school club, get in touch and we will discuss availability, pricing and how it all works.
