WOW Family Center — Coding

We started attending the WOW Family Center's coding program in Amsterdam a few weeks ago, and my 9-year-old son has really enjoyed it. Each session runs for about two hours, and he has already built a small video game. The instructor, Mia, is very engaging and encourages the kids to think critically about their projects. I also appreciated the supportive environment that allowed my son to express his ideas freely. However, the first day had quite a long line for check-in, which was a bit frustrating. It seemed to get better after that, but it’s something to keep in mind. Overall, I think the program is a solid choice for parents looking to introduce their kids to coding. It’s a fun way for families to bond over technology, and I would recommend it with the caveat that you might need to be patient with the initial logistics.

I recently took my son to the WOW Family Center's coding program in Amsterdam, and overall, it was a great experience. The instructor, Mia, was very engaging and made the coding concepts easy for kids to understand. My son, who is quite creative, enjoyed building a simple game using Scratch. The small group size really helped him get personalized attention, which I appreciated. One downside was the long lines at pickup; we had to wait about 15 minutes, which can be tough for kids after a long session. However, this did not overshadow the fun he had learning to code. I do recommend this program, especially for families with children interested in technology. It’s a fantastic way for us to bond while learning something new together.
