Welcome

One mission,
4 clubs

Configur Academy runs 4 clubs at Patch (co-working space) in Twickenham, all for children aged 8 to 12. Each club is built around doing something real: holding a room, solving a mystery with evidence and reasoning, questioning what they see online, building a product and selling it.

Each club has a page in this booklet. Turn the pages and find the one that fits your child.
