S.T.E.A.M. Champs — Coding

My son attended the S.T.E.A.M. Champs coding program in Brooklyn, and overall, it was a positive experience. The instructor, Lucas, was engaging and made the sessions fun. Each week, they worked on a new coding project, and my son created a simple game by the end of the course. He loved being able to express his creativity through coding. The small group size really allowed for individual attention, which was great for him as an active learner. However, the drop-off process was a bit chaotic at times, making it hard to find my son after class. Despite this, I think the hands-on projects and the supportive atmosphere made it worthwhile. I’d recommend it for parents looking for a fun introduction to coding for their creative kids.

I enrolled my 9-year-old son in the S.T.E.A.M. Champs Coding program in Brooklyn, and overall, it was a solid experience. The instructors, like Danny, did a great job keeping the kids engaged while teaching them the basics of coding. My son built a simple game using Scratch, which he was really proud of. The small group size allowed for more personalized attention, which I appreciated. However, I did find the pickup process a bit chaotic on the first day, with long lines that made it hard to find him at the end of the session. Despite that, the creative projects they worked on sparked his interest in coding, and he made a couple of friends along the way. I'd recommend this program for parents looking for a hands-on learning experience, just be prepared for some minor logistical challenges.
