Parent Reviews & Testimonials

Every morning of the Creator Lab, Olley has been up really early, trying to get us out the door an hour before we actually need to leave just so he can get here.

Heather - Parent

When I was young, if you wanted to be famous you'd become a rockstar, an actor or a sports star. You can send your kids to dancing lessons, singing lessons, music lessons, football lessons. Kids now want to be YouTubers, thats how you become famous and the Creator Lab is how we can support those dreams and teach our kids those skills.

Paula - Parent

Cody was excited to come back every day and I saw his confidence in himself grow which is a huge deal for him.

Nicole - Parent

Jonathan is patient and very knowledgeable. The 2 day course is set in a environment with awesome equipments that gives our kids the opportunity to learn with hands on experience to realise their dream of becoming a Twitch or Youtube streamer. Highly recommended

Jenny - Parent

I wasn't sure if Ella would be that interested in the Creator Lab, she watches YouTube and isn't that interested in Gaming, but she's a creative person and she's thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience.

Paula - Parent

I'd say this has been more of a workshop than a holiday program because they're learning skills that will transfer into other areas. I think it's really really valuable experience. My kids are asking if they can come back every holidays and if there was an after school program, they'd be the first to sign up!

Shaun - Parent

As a parent it's great to see my boys interested in more than just playing games :)
Really cool to see them planning and producing their own content to share with family and friends, they now have the knowledge needed to start up their own channels, thanks Jonathan!
