Building the next generation of creators.
To empower the next generation of creators, problem-solvers and future leaders - one project at a time.
Our story
Hikora began with a simple belief: every child deserves to be a creator of technology, not just a consumer of it.
We saw too many bright, curious kids switched off by dry, theory-heavy lessons - so we built something different. A place where 7-18 year olds learn to write real code and build real robots - with AI and game development woven into the work - guided by mentors who truly care. It's the preparation a world reshaped by AI actually demands.
We're launching in Leicester on 24 August 2026 - on a mission to help young people discover confidence, creativity and a love of learning that lasts well beyond the classroom.
What we stand for
Six principles guide everything we do - from how we teach to how we treat every family.
Safe & Trusted
DBS-checked mentors and a safeguarding-first culture where every child feels they belong.
Expert Mentors
Industry-experienced teachers who genuinely care - and know how to make complex ideas click.
Project-Based
Kids learn by building real things they're proud of. Every session ends with something to show.
Built for What's Next
The world is being reshaped by AI and automation. We prepare young people to build with technology, not just consume it - real code, real engineering thinking, the skills tomorrow's work will demand.
Personal Progress
Small classes and individual pathways mean every child is challenged at just the right level.
Serious, and genuinely enjoyed
We hold a real academic bar - and make it something children want to turn up for. Depth is the point; enjoyment is how it sticks.
Meet the founders
Hikora is built and run by two people who care deeply about getting this right for your child.
Redwaan Maxamed
Founder · IT & Cybersecurity
Redwaan founded Hikora after years working in IT and cybersecurity - and seeing a pattern that worried him: young people growing up as fluent consumers of technology, but rarely the people who build it.
He set out to change that. Fusing his industry background with a love of teaching, he created a place where 7-18 year-olds become creators - the confident problem-solvers, engineers and innovators of tomorrow.
Tarik Mokthar
Co-founder · Operations & Architecture
Tarik brings the operations and design backbone. With a background in operations and architecture, he's helped brands level up their design across a portfolio of around 200 websites - and has tutored young people in IT and STEM along the way.
At Hikora he makes sure every programme is well-built, well-run and genuinely raises the bar for the young people who walk through our doors.
