Kids 4 Coding propels kids to Tech Readiness through innovative, hands-on projects and challenges. Students gain an edge in STEM by learning to create and code games, mobile apps, electronics, websites, robots, drones, and more using top programming languages like Python and JavaScript.
Regardless of the path today’s students choose to pursue – from medicine to music – programming/coding will be essential, and due to funding gaps, most schools do not have the resources to cover tech education in an impactful way.
At Kids 4 Coding, we’re filling those gaps and preparing future engineers, architects, programmers and entrepreneurs through FUN, confidence-building curricula - designed by tech experts & educators - that capture kids' imaginations and motivate them to succeed.

10-12 | Minecraft Mods with Java (+ Python)
Take Minecraft to the next level with the power of code. Use real Java and code to create games and projects in Minecraft. Switch at any time between drag-and-drop blocks and text code (like the pros!). This version does not support coding on Pocket Edition, PlayStation or Xbox versions of Minecraft. You must own an account through Minecraft.net + Learn how to code in Python - the fundamental programming language for Machine Learning.
13-16 | Python 101
Learn how to code in Python - the fundamental programming language for Machine Learning. By playing engaging games, you’ll learn basic syntax, arguments, strings, if statements, functions, and parameters. Use your new coding skills to place game objects, construct mazes, create your own shareable game, learn basic input handling and basic game AI.
13-16 | JavaScript & Mobile App Development
Learn the basics of JavaScript programming, including variables, user input, control structures and functions with parameters and return values. + Use JavaScript & HTML to create mobile apps for Android using new App Inventor extensions. App Inventor is an open-source web application originally provided by Google, and now maintained by MIT.
13-16 | Web Development
Students learn the building blocks of HTML and CSS to create and style a 3-page website from scratch. HTML & CSS bring website designs to life; HTML provides the structure of the page, CSS the visual and aural layout. HTML, CSS and JavaScript work together to form the front-end design of a website by applying information that affects the content, style and interactivity of a site.
13-16 | Game Design
Game Maker is a professional platform used to program, design, and animate games for all modern computer platforms as well as mobile devices and consoles.
