Coding programs for kids

Learning to code while young is essential. Kids are able to pick up new languages better than adults!

Coding classes can take different forms

[{"selector":"#anim-707ce56b-f726-4759-859b-2187e3866a32","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c2684e41-cc19-46b5-b0d9-f3408fb4b9f1","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Options include group or private 1-on-1 classes. Both have merit but consider private classes for beginners and younger students to get them starting quickly. Focused attention can accelerate learning.

Coding Fundamentals

Creative Coding

[{"selector":"#anim-c374262f-055f-4f93-97e8-ee25a41227ed","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6329fa86-58a8-4086-bc94-6013ea083ab0","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Children can then move on with their instructor to more complicated coding projects. Get creative with coding by creating fun quizzes and interactive games.

STEM Coding

Children will continue to progress by exploring coding through learning outcomes that integrate science, math, art and music.

Game Development

Dont forget game design. Kids love to code and play their own games. Delve into the world of creating advanced multilevel and platformer games.

Move into Python
