The Best Coding Courses for Kids! Our nine-year-old daughter loves her codeSpark app. She has been using it now for several years and really enjoys coding her own games and creating story adventures. When we heard about the new courses being offered with codeSpark instructors, we immediately enrolled her in a couple of sessions. It's been a terrific experience. Our daughter says that she's learned lots of new commands and it's been nice being able to ask her teachers questions. She added that both her teachers were patient and kind. As a parent, it's so nice to see her engaged and having fun while learning coding. We will definitely sign her up for future classes. Highly recommend!

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

NOT SO GOOD The gameplay, and coding activities are fun but... *You can not demo or model this game as a teacher if you signed in through Clever (they won't even give me another account to sign in so I can play it even though I have paid for a subscription already.) It is hard for kids to scroll down to basic levels as there is no scroll bar, so if you are using laptops, PCs, or Chromebooks, it is very hard for little kids to do it. It often kicks kids out after they finish level 8, afterwhich, they need to go back to the homepage, scroll down to the level they were on, click on it so that level 9 shows up. “Game stuff" should be at the bottom and the coding levels should be at the top. Some of the answers they provide on their guide (Kite Plight) are WRONG. There should be an arrow so students can easily switch screens between levels 1-8 then to 9-16 (or 17) There are often problems going back to a page and there is an error. You have to reopen it, log out, then open it again to log back in, very frustrating. After contacting them, they don't seem to be too interested in fixing anything.

This class taught my children so much… This class taught my children so much about the game and was a kid-appropriate introduction to coding. My kids loved it. Their teacher was terrific, and it was a small group which made it easy for the teacher to be attentive and give each kid attention for troubleshooting. I will be doing another one!!

My 11 year old loves it and is the only… My 11 year old son loves it and is the only class he gets excited for ahead of time. He wants to be an engineer but struggles with not being perfect and what I like about this class is they play games each has made and then they give their experience and opinions. It’s good for kids who struggle with things like feedback. His sister is 8 and it’s also her favorite part of the day. She loves using her creativity to make things others will also use. She wants to do more with Codespark and we most likely will.
