MakeInspires Brooklyn — Coding

I enrolled my 9-year-old son in the MakeInspires Brooklyn coding program last month, and overall, we've had a solid experience. The small class sizes allowed for personalized attention, and the instructor, Jenna, was incredibly engaging. My son worked on building a simple video game, which he absolutely loved. He came home excited each week to show me what he had created. However, I did notice a bit too much screen time during some sessions, which raised my concerns about balance. Also, the pickup process could be smoother; there were a few chaotic moments as parents scrambled to grab their kids after class. Nevertheless, the program has been a positive experience, and my child has definitely improved his coding skills. I'd recommend it, but parents should be aware of the screen time issue.

I enrolled my 12-year-old in the MakeInspires Brooklyn coding program, and overall, it was a solid experience. The classes are held weekly, and I appreciated the small group size, which allowed for more personalized attention. My child loved working on a game development project, which sparked their creativity and problem-solving skills. The instructor, Mia, was highly engaging and made coding feel accessible. However, I did notice that the outdoor area lacked shade, which could be an issue on hot days when the kids take breaks. The pickup process was straightforward, making it easy for us as parents. While the program isn't the cheapest option in Brooklyn, I feel the skills my child is gaining are worth the investment. I'd recommend it for other kids interested in coding, especially those who are creative and focused.
