Penguin Coding School - Newton — Coding

My 9-year-old son recently attended the Penguin Coding School in Newton, and I was pleased with the experience overall. The instructor, Mia, was very engaging and made the coding concepts accessible and fun. My son built a simple game during the class, which he proudly showed me afterward. The small group size allowed for personalized attention, which I really appreciated. However, the drop-off line was rather long, which made things a bit chaotic at the beginning of the first session. It would be great if they could streamline that process. Still, I think this program is a solid choice for kids looking to explore coding in a supportive environment. I would recommend it, especially for children who enjoy hands-on projects and learning in a collaborative setting.

My 9-year-old daughter recently attended the Penguin Coding School in Newton, Boston, and she enjoyed the experience. The small class size allowed for personalized attention from the instructor, Sarah, who was very engaging and made the coding concepts accessible for the kids. They built simple games using Scratch, which my daughter found both fun and challenging—not stressful at all. One drawback was the long lines during pickup; it took longer than expected, which was a bit frustrating after a long day. However, the positive environment and creative projects made it worthwhile. Overall, I recommend this program, especially if you have a child who is a bit shy and needs a supportive space to dive into coding.
