TEKintellect — Coding

My son attended the TEKintellect coding program in New York for 8-10 year-olds over the past few weeks. I appreciated the small group size which allowed for individualized attention. The instructor, Jake, was engaging and made the lessons fun. My son worked on a basic game project, which really sparked his interest in coding. However, I did notice that some activities had a lot of screen time, which I found a bit concerning. I would have preferred a better balance with hands-on projects. Pickup was straightforward and well-organized, making it easy to get him after class. Overall, I think we will continue with this program as it aligns well with his interests and has helped him make some new friends.

My 9-year-old son recently attended the weekly TEKintellect coding program in New York, and overall, it was a solid experience. The instructor, Mia, was engaging and really took the time to explain concepts in a way that resonated with the kids. My son loved working on a project where he created a simple game. He was so proud to show it to me at pickup! One thing to note is that there was quite a bit of screen time involved, which I found a bit concerning as I prefer more hands-on activities. The small group size was a definite plus, allowing for personalized attention. If you're considering this for your child, it's a good fit for those who are focused and enjoy creative challenges, but just be aware of the screen time aspect.
