Created by Kids — Coding

I enrolled my 9-year-old son in the Created by Kids coding program in Brooklyn, and overall, it has been a positive experience. The staff, particularly an instructor named Mia, was engaging and supportive. My son built a simple game that he was really proud of, which sparked his interest in coding even further. However, I did notice that drop-off could be a bit chaotic, with many parents arriving at the same time, leading to some long lines. It's also important to mention that while the group size was small, making it easier for kids to get attention, it sometimes felt a bit crowded during certain activities. Still, if your child is focused and creative, I think they'll thrive in this environment. The program runs weekly, and for the price, it's a worthwhile investment for budding coders.

My daughter recently participated in the Created by Kids coding program in Brooklyn, and overall, it was a solid experience. The classes are structured well, with a small group size that really allowed the kids to engage. Her instructor, Mia, was particularly good at breaking down complex concepts into fun, manageable projects. She created a simple game using Scratch, which she was so proud of. One minor annoyance was the long lines during pickup, which is something they should work on to streamline the process. The communication about what they learned each week was decent, but I would have appreciated a bit more detail to keep up with her progress. Still, I think this program is a great way for kids aged 8-10 to dive into coding and develop critical thinking skills. My daughter was focused and excited each week, so I would recommend it with a couple of caveats.
