We teach kids the joy of coding computers by helping them write their own, unique video games, based on their own ideas.
Congratulations. You’ve stumbled upon a tiny, elite group of Seattle teachers who specialize in teaching coding to kids aged 7-13. We teach After-School programs & summer camps in Seattle, and online.
Teaching coding is the only thing we do. We’ve been doing this for 11 years, both online and in person. And as a group, we just might be the very best in the world at this very specialized mission. Yep, a bold claim! That’s how we roll.
We make learning coding fun, by letting your child write their own, unique computer game, based on their own ideas. We’ve found that supporting true creativity through coding gives kids a sense of joy, freedom, and power they can’t really get “In Real Life”. This creates a hunger to learn more.
Using positive reinforcement and proven, project-based learning, we make sure your child succeeds, at their own pace. Then, the social aspects really come into play. Kids love sharing their creations, and cheer each other on to learning more. Nothing feels more like victory than the adoration of your peers. Nothing else builds self-esteem, confidence, and persistence in quite the same way.
Our classes are friendly and welcoming to kids of all genders, and our social mission is for those young kids to grow up empowered and confident in themselves as masters of technology, supporting all genders together. As they mature, they’ll correct the historical gender imbalance in tech education and eventually the technology industry. We know this works because we’ve been making it happen over our the past decade in Seattle. Your child can be part of this empowered generation and help create this better future, by enrolling in our classes.
Teaching this way requires a very low student-teacher ratio, so each child can get the individual attention they need, and the freedom to create their own project. Yes, that means our classes are expensive. But, we offer a pay-what-you-can plan to make our camps and classes accessible to more kids. And we’ll be expanding those offerings in 2025 as we ramp up our fundraising and expand our time. We’re ready to serve a limited number of kids right now with our summer camps, after-school classes, and online classes. Enrollment is open, so sign up now! See the “about us” page to learn more about our social mission, donate, or offer support.
As a fellow parent, I highly recommend giving this lifelong gift to your child. Give the gift of coding, and celebrate their present and future success.
