Today, I visited this location to get a tour and learn more about the enrichment process for children. I brought both my 7 year old and 12 year old here.
My children were given a tour of the facility and a mini coding experience from the Director, Kimberly.
Code Ninjas teaches coding for kids ages 7 to 14 through a fun gaming curriculum. Parents can choose what hours they would like their children to attend and can pay for the classes on a monthly, six-month or annual basis. They offer drop-in learning, coding summer camps, STEM-based birthday parties and various programs. Children are engaged to stay motivated in the program as they progress in levels of difficulty (earning belts like a ninja; from white to black) as they learn to code; for example, they start in JavaScript and end in C#. When the kids go through each achievement level, the goal is to build self confidence, work on problem-solving skills and critical thinking, and learning how to collaborate with each other. The classes at this location are taught by college students who are CS or Engineering majors (or something of the like).
This establishment offers a great way for kids to learn invaluable skills in the ever changing technological landscape. The caveat is these lessons as with everything comes at a price $$$. read more
