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.
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.

Algonova classes are held live online with a teacher, in small groups. Kids can learn from anywhere — no need to travel to a location.
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.
Pricing starts from Rp 102,000 per session for group classes and Rp 190,000 per session for private one-to-one classes, paid per session with no big package upfront. As a benchmark, offline studios in Jakarta sell packages. Indo Design Center in West Jakarta charges Rp 2,500,000 for 8 sessions of 2 hours, around Rp 312,000 per session. ArtCIV3D Studio asks Rp 1,250,000 for 3 sessions, and ESDA Pusat opens kids' programs from Rp 3,200,000. Those offline figures don't include petrol, parking, and the time parents spend driving through Jalan Gatot Subroto during rush hour. Algonova classes run online from home, on WIB time, with evening slots 4pm to 8pm on weekdays. The first session is free for 60 minutes, no credit card required.
Algonova's design program is open to children age 8 and up. The Design Junior level covers ages 8 to 11 and starts with digital drawing and colouring in GIMP, then simple 3D objects in Tinkercad and short animation in Wick Editor. The Design Senior level for ages 12 to 15 moves into composition, typography, colour theory, brand visual identity, and character design, with Inkscape for vector work like logos and stickers. Your child doesn't need to know how to draw first, since the mentor starts from zero. Kids from Kebayoran Baru, Cakung, or Kelapa Gading can join the same group since classes run online, with no need to cross Jalan Gatot Subroto for it. For ages 5 to 7, the coding track is a better fit. Pricing starts from Rp 102,000 per session for group classes, with a free 60-minute trial.
No. All four programs used in Algonova's design classes are free: GIMP for digital drawing, Inkscape for vector work, Tinkercad for 3D objects, and Wick Editor for animation. They all run on an ordinary laptop or PC, with no paid license and no special graphics card. A drawing tablet isn't required to start, since a mouse is enough for sketching, layers, and texture work at the Design Junior level, ages 8 to 11. What's genuinely needed is a stable internet connection for video sessions and a headset so your child hears the mentor clearly. Jakarta parents who already have an old work laptop usually don't need to buy anything. The free 60-minute session doubles as a check that your home setup is enough before you spend anything. Once your child reaches Design Senior, ages 12 to 15, a drawing tablet stays optional.
The difference is teacher ratio and travel time. Algonova classes run one student to one mentor, so material adjusts to your child's pace rather than the average pace of a class with a dozen kids. On time, TomTom recorded that a 10km trip in Jakarta in 2025 averaged 26 minutes 19 seconds, with 59.8 percent congestion and peak hours 4:30pm to 7pm, exactly when kids' lessons happen. An offline course 8km away eats about 40 minutes round trip, and over a month of 8 sessions that's more than 5 hours on the road. Our payment is also per session, from Rp 102,000 for group and Rp 190,000 for private, not an 8- or 32-session package paid upfront. If your child stops in month two, no package goes to waste. You can try one free 60-minute session first before deciding to switch.
Both at once, and in Jakarta the formal path is real. Several state vocational schools in Jakarta run Visual Communication Design programs, including SMKN 1 Jakarta, SMKN 16 Jakarta, SMKN 50 Jakarta in East Jakarta, and SMKN 59 Jakarta. Admission to these tracks looks at a portfolio, and a child who has used GIMP and Inkscape for a few years arrives with one already built. In regular schools, Kurikulum Merdeka only requires one of four Arts and Culture options, so many schools pick Music or Dance, leaving visually-inclined kids without a regular outlet. Design classes outside school fill that gap, and the result is measurable since every session leaves one finished piece of work. Algonova has taught for 10+ years, with 13,000+ students in Indonesia and a 4.9-out-of-5 parent rating.
