NewTechKids — Coding

My 12-year-old daughter has been attending the NewTechKids coding program in Amsterdam for the past few weeks, and overall, it has been a solid experience. The instructors, particularly a guy named Mark, seem genuinely passionate about teaching coding and ensuring that each child feels included. My daughter built her first simple game using Scratch, and she absolutely loved the creative project component. The small group size allowed for personalized attention, which I really appreciated. However, the pickup process can be a bit chaotic, especially with long lines forming as parents wait. It would be nice if they could streamline that a bit. Nevertheless, my daughter has made a new friend in the class, which has made her even more excited to return each week. If you’re considering this program, just be prepared for a slight wait at the end. We’ll definitely continue attending!

I enrolled my 9-year-old in the NewTechKids coding program in Amsterdam, and overall, it was a solid experience. My child really enjoyed creating a simple video game during the class, which was a highlight for them. The instructor, Sam, showed great enthusiasm and kept the kids engaged throughout the session. The small group size allowed for personalized attention, which my child appreciated. One issue we encountered was the long line for pickup; it took quite a while to get my child after class. Next time, I might arrive a bit earlier to avoid the wait. Despite this small annoyance, I feel the program offered a nurturing environment for kids to explore technology and creativity. I would recommend NewTechKids, especially for kids who are outgoing and enjoy creative projects.
