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.

Good exposure to coding for kids My son had a great time over winter break completing a 4 day Coding a Game program. He learned different computer science terms and was able to create a game on the CodeSpark platform by the end of the week. It's a good experience.

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!

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

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.
