Who are we?
Code Ninjas is changing the world one child at a time. In our center, kids ages 7-14 learn to code in a fun, non-intimidating way – by playing and building video games that they love. Kids have a blast and can’t wait to come back. Our program is structured much like a martial arts Dojo, where the kids advance in belt level as they learn critical thinking skills. Parents are thrilled as their children gain confidence and new skills including coding, math, logic, and problem-solving, as they progress from white to black belt. Our core promise is, Kids have fun, parents see results. We believe in these words so much that it’s written on the walls in our center.
