Code For Fun — Video Game Design

My son attended the Code For Fun Video Game Design program in San Francisco for a few weeks, and it was a solid experience overall. He’s quite creative, and he loved working on his own video game. The instructor, Sarah, was really engaged and provided helpful feedback, which kept the kids motivated. The small group size allowed for plenty of interaction, and my son made a new friend who shares his passion for gaming. One downside was the long lines during pickup, which could get a bit hectic at times. If you’re considering this program for your child, just be prepared for that. Overall, it’s a worthwhile investment for kids looking to dive into game design and unleash their creativity.

My 12-year-old son participated in the Code For Fun Video Game Design program in San Francisco last month, and it was a solid experience overall. He particularly enjoyed the hands-on project where he created his own platformer game, which fostered both his creativity and technical skills. The instructor, Mia, was engaging and provided effective guidance, which kept the kids focused throughout the sessions. The small group size allowed for more personalized attention, which I appreciated. However, I did notice that there was a significant amount of screen time, which made me a bit uneasy, especially when they could have also worked on brainstorming ideas away from the computer. Pickup was smooth, and the staff communicated well with parents. I would recommend this program for kids who are passionate about gaming and have a creative flair, but parents might want to discuss screen time limits with their children before enrolling.
