Question 1

What subjects can kids learn at Algonova?

Accepted Answer

At Algonova kids can learn three areas: coding (from Scratch for beginners to Python & web development), math (an interactive, personalized method), and graphic & digital design. Each child gets a learning path tailored to their age (5–17) and interests.

Question 2

What age is right to start?

Accepted Answer

Ages 5–17. For 5–7 we start with visual coding and basic math; 8–12 game design, math, and design; 13–17 Python, AI, advanced math, and digital design. Programs adapt to each child's level.

Question 3

Are classes online or in person?

Accepted Answer

Algonova classes are held live online with a teacher, in small groups. Kids can learn from anywhere — no need to travel to a location.

Question 4

Is there a free trial class?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer a FREE trial class with no commitment. Your child tries a real session with an experienced teacher, and afterwards our team recommends the best learning path.

Question 5

Does this design class help my child get into a DKV vocational school in Bandung?

Accepted Answer

Yes, especially since admission to design tracks is portfolio-based. Bandung has state vocational schools with Visual Communication Design programs, including SMKN 2 Bandung, SMKN 3 Bandung, and SMKN 9 Bandung, plus SMK Telkom Bandung as a private option. At university level there is ITB's Faculty of Art and Design on Jalan Ganesha No. 10, whose Visual Communication Design program opens concentrations in Graphic Design, Multimedia, and Advertising in the sixth semester. A child who starts Design Junior at age 9 has five to six years to build a digital portfolio before vocational school applications. The portfolio content is real: GIMP illustrations, Inkscape logos and stickers, Tinkercad objects, short Wick Editor animations. Pricing starts from Rp 102,000 per session for group classes, with a free 60-minute first session, run online on WIB time.

Question 6

What software is used, and do parents need to buy a license?

Accepted Answer

Algonova's design classes use four free programs, so there is no license to buy. GIMP for digital drawing and colouring, Inkscape for vector work like logos and stickers, Tinkercad for 3D objects, and Wick Editor for short animation. They all run on an ordinary laptop or PC your child already uses for school, no special graphics card needed. A drawing tablet isn't required to start. All you need is a stable internet connection and a headset. This is one reason online classes cost less than Bandung studios selling packages, for example Padepokan IT Course from Rp 2.7 million for 3 sessions or Pikmi Rajawali from Rp 1.3 million for 18 sessions. Our pricing starts from Rp 102,000 per session for group classes and Rp 190,000 for private, paid per session. The first trial session is free and runs 60 minutes.

Question 7

What times are design classes available for kids in Bandung?

Accepted Answer

The slots Bandung kids use most are 4pm to 8pm on weekdays, WIB time, plus morning and midday slots on weekends. That window does collide with Bandung's second traffic wave, which builds up 4pm to 8pm on Jalan Soekarno-Hatta, Pasteur, Setiabudi, Dago, Cibiru, and Buah Batu. Because classes run online, kids from Coblong, Cidadap, Antapani, Lengkong, or Buahbatu join class from home at the same time without hitting those jams. TomTom recorded Bandung's average rush-hour speed at just 16.3 km/h in 2025, so a lesson that looks close on the map can still eat half an hour each way. Schedule changes are arranged directly with the mentor with no need to re-register. The first session is free, 60 minutes, one student to one mentor, no credit card required.

Question 8

My child loves drawing on paper, do they have to start from zero in digital?

Accepted Answer

No, a paper-drawing habit actually speeds up the early stage. Design Junior for ages 8 to 11 starts from what the child already knows, sketching and colouring, then moves it into GIMP with the added concepts of layers and texture. A child who has never drawn at all can also join, since the mentor doesn't require prior skill. What changes isn't the thinking, it's the tools: undo, separate layers, and a file that can be revised repeatedly. From there the child moves to 3D objects in Tinkercad and short animation in Wick Editor. Every session produces one finished piece, and it goes into the child's first digital portfolio. At Design Senior, ages 12 to 15, that hand-drawing habit gets reused for character design and initial logo sketches in Inkscape. The free 60-minute trial session is how the mentor checks your child's level.

Question 9

What's the difference between Design class and Game Design class?

Accepted Answer

Two separate tracks at Algonova. The Design class teaches graphic design: digital drawing in GIMP, vector work in Inkscape for logos and stickers, 3D objects in Tinkercad, short animation in Wick Editor, then typography and brand visual identity at the Senior level, ages 12 to 15. Game Design does not sit in this track, it sits in the Coding track, since it involves game logic and programming. A child who wants to build games should join through Coding, while a child who wants to make posters, illustrations, or a brand identity should join through Design. Some Bandung kids end up taking both, usually starting with one track and adding the second after a few months. Both tracks use free software and run online on WIB time, from Rp 102,000 per session for group classes. The free 60-minute trial session can help decide which track fits better.
