My daughter told me about codeSpark… My daughter told me about codeSpark Academy after learning about it on YouTube. We set her up and she's been enjoying it quite a bit. She shared some games she made after only a short while. Then, we learned about the Game Maker course so I signed her up. She's only been to two of them thus far but she's learned a lot and is eager to attend subsequent classes. The teacher is patient and very knowledgable. The class is small so each child gets a lot of personal attention which I believe is key to a great experience. We are very happy with codeSpark Academy and I'm planning to sign my daughter up for more classes in the future.

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.

My kids both really enjoy CodeSpark My kids both really enjoy CodeSpark! The material is suitable for both my 5 year old and 8 year old who both have about one year of coding experience from other apps. We have tried several coding apps and they outgrew most of the others already, but they still enjoy CodeSpark very much! We recently tried one of the courses they offer and the staff was awesome and the course was fun!

They renewed my subscription without my… They renewed my subscription without my approval (I had cancelled before the renewal date) and refuse to refund it. They blamed it on Apple, but I have documents from Apple that it was not charged through them! DO NOT GET THIS APP! Now I have to worry that they will do it again next year!
