Skill Samurai - Coding, Maths and STEM Academy — Video Game Design

My 9-year-old, Max, recently attended the Video Game Design program at Skill Samurai in Sydney. The weekly sessions were well-structured and focused on building not just coding skills but also creativity through game development. Max created an exciting adventure game, which he was thrilled to share with us. The instructor, Sam, was very engaged with the kids and took the time to ensure everyone understood the concepts. I appreciated the small group size as it allowed for personalized attention. However, I noticed there was quite a bit of screen time, which can be a concern for some parents. Overall, I found the program to be a great way for Max to explore his interests in gaming while learning valuable skills. I would recommend it, but keep an eye on the screen time aspect.

I signed my 9-year-old son up for the Video Game Design program at Skill Samurai in Sydney, and it has been a positive experience overall. The instructors, especially a woman named Sarah, were enthusiastic and clearly knowledgeable about coding and game design. My son was thrilled to create his own video game level using the software they provided, which sparked his creativity. The small group size allowed for personalized attention, which he appreciated. However, the pickup process was a bit chaotic; we often faced long lines which could be frustrating after a long session. Despite this, my son has made friends there and genuinely looks forward to each class. I would recommend this program, but just know that the logistics could be better. It's a great fit for kids who enjoy creative projects and want to explore their interests in gaming.
