About the provider

Founded in 2013, theCoderSchool says kids learn to code and explore AI technologies through personalized guidance from experienced Code Coaches. It is a longtime partner of the Congressional App Challenge and collaborates with CAC on a national recognition program.

Each camp has age and skill-level recommendations, but all are open to discussion based on a child's coding experience. Some locations offer half-day camps. Campers give demos at the end of the week. TheCoderSchool offers camps at 39 locations for GameDev and 27 locations for Robocode.

What families say

“If you want your child to learn STEM concepts via coding, send them here. I’ve been in IT for 23 years and I have not seen anything close to the customized curriculum they created. Hands down, this is the place you want your kids to be.” — Siddhartha from New Jersey

“My son is having a wonderful experience at The Coder School. The instructors are exceptional. I was skeptical whether an online class could be engaging for him, but he is having a blast and learning a lot. It’s a quarantine lifesaver!” — Karin from California

“The kids really loved the Scratch camp. I haven’t seen them this excited about learning something new in a very long time. We look forward to coming back in late August.” — Bejon from Connecticut
