About Brainzie

We do two things we genuinely love: helping young people fall for STEM and computer science, and building software that simply works.

Our approach

We treat young people as the brilliant people they already are.

Future leaders, today

We value the young people we teach as capable thinkers and tomorrow’s leaders — not an audience to be talked down to.

Never condescending

We explain hard ideas honestly and clearly, trusting students to rise to the challenge. They always do.

Genuinely passionate

We teach the things we love, and that energy is the difference between a lesson endured and a lesson remembered.

Always improving

Every edition of every course is sharper than the last, shaped by what worked and what we learned.

Our story

The name is the family.

Brainzie sounds like "brainy" — fitting for a company that teaches computer science and STEM. But the name is also a little closer to home. The letters B-A-R-S stand for the four people behind it:

  • B — Barbara
  • A — Amelie
  • R — Rodolfo
  • S — Sophie

In partnership

Proven in the classroom.

Since 2024 we’ve delivered eight weekly course programmes in partnership with Townley Grammar School — spanning science, computational thinking, mathematics challenges, cryptography and professional software development.

Along the way our students have earned Gold certificates in the UK Bebras Challenge and prepared for national maths challenges. See the full track record →

Working with young people

Safeguarding comes first.

Brainzie holds a current DBS check, and all of our work with students is carried out in line with our partner schools’ safeguarding policies and supervision. If you’re a parent or a school and have any questions about how we work, please ask us — we’re always happy to talk it through.

Curious to work with us?

Schools, parents and organisations — we’d love to hear what you’re trying to achieve.
