About
theCoderSchool Camps and After-School Coding Programs include Summer Coding Camps and ongoing coding classes where students work on video game development, robotics, Minecraft, Roblox, JavaScript with HTML/CSS, mobile game development, Vibe Coding, Python utilities or games, and website development with HTML/CSS and JavaScript. Camp and class activities also include Artificial Intelligence (AI), AI image recognition bots, coding algorithms that mimic computer intelligence, robot building and battling, robot agility course navigation races, sumo-style robot matches, robot obstacle courses, digital art, animation using MIT's Scratch, and game development using Scratch or Snap. Additional projects include Minecraft coding, Roblox game creation and publishing, Obby (obstacle course) building in Roblox Studio, Lua programming, robot programming and control, mini-computer (Raspberry Pi) building and programming, Arduino microcontroller projects, connecting and programming LEDs and sensors, 3D printing, Java programming, mobile app development, and video game coding.
• Ages: 6–18 years old
• Schedule: Each day camp runs for a full week, usually starting mid-morning and finishing early afternoon, and some camps are offered as a half-day.
Camp instructors are Code Coaches who have successfully gone through theCoderSchool's onboarding process and are coders who teach coding skills to kids, and the core program uses a super-small student to teacher ratio that is typically 2:1 with a low ratio of students per coach in camps. Each camp has recommendations around age and skill level, but all are open to discussion based on the child’s experience with coding, and camps include on-computer learning along with breaks that may include walks outside or other indoor activities, plus end-of-week student demos to show their work and critical thinking skills. The program also offers an after-school drop-off coding program, a virtual coding program, private and semi-private coaching, and virtual learning options.
Founded in 2013 and 2014 and headquartered in Silicon Valley, theCoderSchool is described as the first of many coding classes for kids and the largest coding school for kids in Silicon Valley, with more locations around the country. Hansel founded theCoderSchool, and Wayne was brought on to focus on corporate schools and franchise support while Hansel built up the company. The mission of theCoderSchool states that kids learn to code and explore AI technologies that are becoming part of everyday life, with a focus on creativity, problem solving, and confidence, and on preparing kids for today’s tools and tomorrow’s opportunities, summarized by the phrase “Learn to code. Change the world®,” and an emphasis on getting the young generation ready for a future that will be more dependent on technology.
TheCoderSchool is a longtime partner of the Congressional App Challenge (CAC) and collaborates with CAC to run a national recognition program that identifies a handful of the top applications from thousands of CAC submissions from across the country. Parent testimonials describe customized curriculum for STEM concepts via coding, engaging online classes and camps, and kids enjoying Scratch camp and online lessons, including comments from parents in New Jersey, California, Georgia, and Connecticut.
