Code Ninjas is a neat concept for kids ages 7 to 14 years old. They call the main learning center the "Dojo" where the kids will learn coding and brain teasers. Kimberly and Ramone definitely were helpful in answering any questions I had of enrolling my 7 year old son into the program. It definitely allows kids to set goals and achieve them by coding in Java and C+ to create their own video games while learning other skills such as mathematics, problem solving skills, while having fun.
As the child enters the facility, they log in with their color coded wrist bands, put on hand sanitizer and Kim at the front desk does a temperature check before the kids enter the "Dojo."
The color coded wrist band indicates the program and the level the child starts at and they will advance once they hit certain levels of achievement. There is a specific website with a user name and passcode that parents can check the progress of their child at each class. Every child usually starts at the white wrist band and can work their way up to black wrist band for more advanced training.
The classroom size is a maximum for 12 participants in which you register before each class online. The desks and stations are at least 6 feet apart with social distancing enforced. They do offer virtual lessons as well. The sensei will usually provide an update and progress of your child at the end of the class. Parents can either stay onsite and observe through the "fish bowl" or glass enclosed classroom or can leave and drop off their child to run an errand. My son definitely enjoys his class and can't wait to go back. read more
