Part of event series
This group focuses on the basics of game development and coding, giving you a peek behind the curtain of video games in a comfortable and encouraging group. In this hobby group, we’ll use good old Minecraft to learn how games are built in practice, and you’ll learn how we can turn stories, graphics and animations into a cohesive game, and what the jungle of code looks like behind all that. You don’t need prior knowledge to participate. After attending this club, you’ll understand and look at games in a completely different way!
Registration for hobby groups will open on Thursday 27 August. Hobby groups will start their activities on week number 37, which starts on Monday 7 September 2026. The hobby groups will meet weekly throughout the school year unless otherwise stated. The hobby groups do not meet during school holidays. The hobbies are free of charge for the participants. The City of Espoo has insured the hobby group participants.
Each hobby group organiser will contact the guardians about the practical arrangements for the hobby. Please contact the hobby organiser if you want to cancel your child’s participation or if you have questions about the hobby. It is possible to try out the hobby groups before signing up.
Everyone is welcome to hobby groups regardless of their language skills, functional capacity or past hobbies. We want to support the child’s participation in the best possible way. When registering, please let us know about the child’s support needs or other things that we need to take into account. This allows the hobby organiser to address children’s different needs.
The Espoo Hobby Path offers popular, free-of-charge hobbies for children in grades 3–9, arranged after school days at school premises, near the school or via remote connection. The Espoo Hobby Path is a way of implementing the Finnish model for leisure activities in Espoo. The principles of a safer space are applied in the hobby groups.
