Finding an academic program that balances fact-based theory with interactive engagement may seem impossible. However, one business has seemingly cracked the code to put the fun in functional learning.
Code Ninjas, an afterschool and weekend educational program for children, offers coding, science, technology, engineering, and math education through an exciting, hands-on curriculum. Its unique approach keeps students engaged by instilling core principles within an approachable and relatable game-based format that targets their interests while building a diverse and real-world applicable set of skills.
Most recently, the company is excited to announce the opening of its 11th Code Ninjas location in September near Metrotown at Rumble Street and Royal Oak Avenue (5262 Rumble Street)!
Coding, comprehension and creativity
In line with its name and theme, Code Ninjas employs a unique Ninja Belt system that spans nine levels, ranging from white to black. Students progress through a self-paced curriculum that implements both essential and contemporary skills, focusing on problem-solving, typing and video game development as core tenets of the curriculum, with one sensei – or instructor – assigned to every five students.
In addition to introducing practical skills, the Code Ninjas program extends beyond fundamental theory to foster patience, innovation and emotional intelligence, teaching kids resilience, independence and problem-solving.
Putting the ‘fun’ in fundamentals
With the new school year approaching, now is the perfect time to introduce your child to the world of coding through an exciting and interactive program. Code Ninjas’ multi-year program utilizes the proprietary IMPACT platform created with Microsoft, which offers hands-on experience in coding in a safe and inclusive space.
Through its courses, young learners are exposed to block-based coding, JavaScript, C#, and other programming languages that span a diverse range of industries, such as website, app and video game development.
The Code Ninjas objective seeks to foster collaboration, stimulating yet enjoyable challenges, and structured learning to create an environment that helps children develop their coding proficiency while building their confidence.
Celebrating one of many success stories, Jane, a 12-year-old student at Code Ninjas, recently developed her own mobile game, which has been downloaded over 1,000 times. One parent adds, "My son used to be shy, but now he is excited to share his coding projects with his friends." In fact, over 90% of Code Ninjas graduates report improved problem-solving skills and increased confidence in their abilities.
Imagine your child developing their own mobile game or website. How proud would they feel sharing their creation with friends and family? Help foster your child's creativity and critical thinking skills by enrolling them today!
