Recommended Coding classes for youngins! My 7-yr-old daughter has enjoyed both of the 3-session courses that she has taken with codeSpark teachers. She enjoys building her own games and stories and sharing with her peers. We look forward to more sessions!

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.

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!
