Our son loves the classes Our son loves the classes. For a group online class - the cost seems a bit high.

My son enjoys the class My son enjoys the class, and says the instruction is fun and engaging! He wishes there was a higher level, though, as he doesn't feel challenged every session. I would highly recommend codeSpark Academy to other parents.

They will NEVER cancel your… They will NEVER cancel your subscription. Be very cautious. I am getting recurring charges every year for 80USD even though I have their written confirmation that my account is inactive. I need to block my credit card in order to stop all the charges. So far I have been charged for 2 subscriptions

Perfect for what we were looking for. H (age 8) has been jealous of his brother’s (K 13) online coding classes (another site). They didn’t have anything that we felt was appropriate for H’s level. We wanted something introductory with a lot of guidance. As a child of pandemic learning, H hasn’t had a lot of experience navigating in groups. We gave the Game Maker (series 1) a try and it was a hit. They were focused not only on coding (concepts) but instructional support/guidance. His teacher Nicole is great at keeping the kids on track and inspiring them to come up with ideas. I LOVE their “brain dump” model. It is a useful skill that can be applied to other aspects of life. IF I had to find a flaw, I would say that I wish that range of the students (maturity and knowledge) were closer. There were definitely students who were more advanced than H and some that were behind him. But it’s not a huge deal and a good opportunity to develop important social skills. We are on our second series of the Game Maker classes and have already harassed the staff about coming up with a third series ;) TLDR; perfect fit for what our 8 year old needed. This class may not be heavy on coding language, but it teaches coding concepts which is just as useful, especially for the younger minds/beginners. Lots of support for those who need it in group learning. Would highly recommend for similar students.

Parents beware - Hate these guys Parents beware - these guys refuse to cancel subscriptions and dont answer any support emails. I have begged to cancel and will call my credit card company and file a complaint and with the Better Business Bureau.
