The Coder School
Code Class is our entry level program, only for newbie coders. In our introductory Code Class, our coaches use Scratch or Snap! to teach kids using our project-based game development curriculum, in a traditional class-like environment. By learning through repetition, students will be able to learn the fundamentals of coding in a fun and engaging way. Throughout the session, every student will have the opportunity to present a chosen project, if interested.
