Publishing an app. Kids and teens can do this and more by learning how to code. Whether your child is interested in technology and STEM or art and science, they will find learning to code to be a useful skill. Code can help them express their creativity and make their ideas come to life. It’s also an excellent way to learn soft skills, like creativity, confidence, and communication, that are hugely important for kids to thrive in the future. In this guide, we’ll cover CodeWizardsHQ’s summer coding camps and classes and the opportunities for kids to start their coding journey this summer. About CodeWizardsHQ CodeWizardsHQ was created by a father for his daughter and has evolved into the leading online coding academy for kids and teens. Our mission is to prepare students for success in the digital world by teaching them how to code. In 2014, founder, Jey Iyempandi, created a structured, progressive coding program to help his own daughter learn how to code. At that time, he wasn’t able to find any options for structured, scheduled, teacher-led coding classes. He realized live, online coding classes could combine the benefits of teacher-led instruction with the convenience of courses that students can take anywhere. What started as a single class has become the leading online coding academy that offers students a live, teacher-led, student-centered coding education. Today, CodeWizardsHQ has thousands of happy students and parents and is Trustpilot’s #1 reviewed summer camp. Our goal is and has always been to offer your child the same experience Jey would want for his daughter. The CodeWizardsHQ Experience: What to Expect Classes are designed to be engaging and ignite a passion for programming. Our curriculum will give our students the programming knowledge, skills, and confidence to thrive in a digital world. We’ve carefully crafted a coding program that meets kids where they are in age and experience, resulting in a 97% student success rate. Our 4-pillar approach provides the foundation students need to succeed and effectively teaches them how to code. 1 – Curriculum Our curriculum is fun, engaging, and delivers meaningful learning. The lessons are taught step by step so kids can understand difficult concepts and build on them.

Students can attend homework help, search the forum, and reach out to support when they’re stuck. Parents receive report cards for every class and can reach out to student specialists for help with their child’s progression. 4 – Platform We’ve developed a coding platform that mirrors professional tools, but makes it easy for kids to learn and create. Our coding platform also adds a layer of gamification to encourage students to continue building their skills. Kids advance through each level, like a game, and earn bonuses along the way.
