Hatch Canada's Free 90 Minute Trial Class


Peter Kuperman is the founder and CEO of Hatch Canada, a Toronto-based learning center dedicated to teaching children the wonders and value of computer coding and knowledge, from computer fundamentals to learning actual coding languages like JavaScript and Python. Peter Kuperman says he loves watching Hatch Canada’s students become engaged in the learning process as they build up a portfolio of projects.

Hatch Canada offers a free 90-minute trial session for prospective students. This helps them and their parents determine whether Hatch is a good fit for their interests and circumstances. In addition to providing potential students the chance to experience the Hatch community and coaches firsthand, the free trial is used to teach students their first few lines of code. This enables them to create three to four projects to show off to their friends. As an added benefit, every trial student receives a permanent account to Hatch’s online learning platform. 

Since Hatch provides the laptops, prospective students only need to bring their energy and creativity. To learn more about Hatch Canada and its free 90-minute trial, visit hatchcanada.com.

Advice for Cycling with Young Children


As the founder and CEO of Hatch Canada, Peter Kuperman has dedicated himself to creating tools, toys, and teaching programs that can be used to communicate to children how to code. Peter Kuperman also regularly takes bike rides with his family. 

Parents cycling with young children need to be aware of much more than their own safety.

Most riders opt to use a chariot that attaches to the back of their bicycle when taking along young children. You need to ensure the chariot is stable and offers shelter to the child. This is especially important on hot days.

With your chariot in place, focus on riding safely at all times. Obey the rules of the road and take things slowly. Sharp turns should be avoided and your child should have on a well-fitted helmet at all times.

Finally, make yourself as noticeable to others as possible by wearing high visibility clothing. Dress your child in similar, as well, and make sure the chariot can be seen easily. Avoid riding at night, as this places young children at risk.

SOS Children's Villages to Use New Emergency Response Tool


Peter Kuperman is the founder and CEO of Hatch Canada in Toronto, which helps children build skills for the 21st century by teaching them how to code. Outside of his professional life, Peter Kuperman supports various charitable organizations such as SOS Children’s Villages.

SOS Children’s Villages recently announced that it will make use of DHL Resilience 360 to help frame its emergency response efforts across the globe. DHL Resilience 360 is a risk-management initiative that tracks numerous factors that can affect logistics such as disasters, both natural and man-made. Utilizing this technology to track incidents such as earthquakes and floods will help SOS Children’s Villages prevent its operations from being disrupted and can help the organization form better response plans.

Through DHL Resilience 360, SOS Children’s Village will be sent real-time alerts about these disasters in order to ascertain their risk based on the vicinity of the event. They also will have access to satellite imagery to help accurately pinpoint the specific areas that need help and how they can best reach them.
