IDEA Lab Kids - Central Austin — Coding

My son attended the IDEA Lab Kids coding program in Central Austin, and overall, it was a positive experience. Each week, he got to work on fun projects that really tapped into his creativity. Last week, he built a simple game using Scratch, which he was so proud to show me. The instructor, Ms. Jenna, was engaging and made sure the kids understood each concept before moving on. The small group size allowed for more personalized attention, which I appreciated. However, the pickup process could be smoother; we often had to wait in long lines, which was a bit frustrating after a long day. Still, I would recommend this program for kids who are focused and enjoy creative problem-solving. It’s a great way for them to get hands-on experience with coding while having fun.

I enrolled my 9-year-old in the IDEA Lab Kids coding program in Central Austin, and overall, it was a positive experience. The staff, especially our instructor Jamie, was very engaged and kept the kids interested with fun coding projects. My child built a simple game during the first week, which was exciting to see. The small group size allowed for personalized attention, which I appreciated. However, I did find the pickup process a bit chaotic with long lines, making it hard to get out quickly. Despite this minor annoyance, I would recommend this program for any child interested in coding. The environment felt inclusive, and the focus on creativity was a great touch.
