Where Kids Learn to Code

We offer in-person and virtual coding classes that provide kids with a caring, inclusive space to have fun, be challenged, and grow as thinkers, learners, and leaders. At The Coding Space, kids learn to code through the development of computational thinking skills, intellectual confidence, self-expression, and independence.

What Families Are Saying About The Coding Space

I love it here because in my other classes and camps, they just give the answers to you. Here I get to figure it out for myself. It’s more exciting because I learned it myself.

Sofia, age 9

The Coding Space has opened up a whole new world for our daughter, which was especially needed when she couldn’t see friends in person. Her classes are the highlight of her week, and it’s so incredible to watch her progress.
