Steamoji Calgary West — Coding

My son attended the Steamoji Calgary West coding program last week, and overall, it was a solid experience. He came home excited about the video game he created using coding principles. The instructors, like Jake, were very engaged and answered the kids' questions eagerly. He especially appreciated making a new friend while working on group projects. One small annoyance was the long lines during drop-off in the morning; it would be helpful if they could streamline that process. The program is well-structured and definitely encourages creativity, though I did notice a fair amount of screen time, which might not suit every child. For my active son, it was a good balance of hands-on learning and fun. I would recommend it, with a heads up about the drop-off situation.

We enrolled our 9-year-old in the Steamoji Calgary West coding program and overall, it was a solid experience. The program ran from 9 AM to 4 PM, which was a full day packed with activities. My child particularly enjoyed the hands-on projects, especially creating a simple game using coding blocks. The staff, especially an instructor named Jamie, was engaging and made sure the kids felt included. The small group size allowed for more personalized attention, which was great. However, we did encounter some long lines during pickup, which was a bit frustrating after a long day. It's something to consider if you’re in a rush. Despite that, my child came home excited about what they learned and even made a few friends. I would recommend Steamoji for those looking for a creative outlet in coding, but just be prepared for potential delays at the end of the day.
