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.

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!

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 daughter was very excited to learn… My daughter was very excited to learn how to personalize her game. She is enrolled in a month-long class and the teachers have been very patient. She was even able to view a missed class and feel like she was still able to gain those skills.

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