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!

GBPerfect 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.

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.

GBBest zoom class my son has taken My son absolutely loves CodeSpark and had a great time in this class. We’ve done a lot of zoom camps, school, and classes over the last two years, and this was the only one that he was totally engaged all on his own. I was able to leave the room and shut the door and know that he was having a great time and able to do all the projects.
