Code Ninjas
This is a kids' coding franchise where students learn problem solving and logic in a safe and comfortable setting. This coding center franchise allows children to have fun while learning to code. Children build video games without realizing that they are learning in the process. The founder originally led programs to enable adults to become proficient software developers, but together with having his two children, found that coding is not only a career, but a worthy life skill. Students attend the sessions and enroll in a program, with multiple stages (awarding different-colored belts) for different levels of coding. There are summer camps, and programs for younger coders as well. The idea of providing a safe haven for young budding coders allows students to have fun while gaining confidence in problem solving, critical thinking, and STEM skills. There is no parent interaction with this. Parents are welcome to sit in the waiting room while students are in the learning area.
Grades: ages 5-14
Cost: Differs depending on the program and the franchise location
