Ultimate Coders Toronto (The Junction) - Computer Coding and Robotics Classes for Kids SK to Grade 12 | Coding Camps — Coding

My son attended the Ultimate Coders program in The Junction this past semester, and overall, it was a solid experience. The instructor, Mia, was particularly engaging, keeping the kids focused while they created their own simple games and robotics projects. My son built a small robot that he was so proud to show off at pickup. The small group size allowed for personalized attention, which I appreciated. However, I did notice they spent quite a bit of time in front of screens, which I’m not entirely comfortable with. Balancing screen time with hands-on activities would be ideal. Still, my son made a couple of friends and was excited to go each week, which I think speaks to the program's overall appeal. I would recommend it, but I would have a conversation with my child’s instructor about balancing coding with other forms of engagement.

My son, who is 9, has been attending the Ultimate Coders program in The Junction for a few weeks now, and overall, we are quite pleased with the experience. The instructor, Lisa, is enthusiastic and really connects with the kids, making coding fun and approachable. My son has already built a simple game and is excited about the robotics project they're starting next week. One downside was the pickup process, which had long lines each time. It would be better if they could streamline that somehow. However, the small group size allows for plenty of personalized attention. While my son is quite creative, I noticed some kids seemed a bit overwhelmed by the pace, so it might not be suitable for every child. Still, with the right mindset, it’s a fantastic way for kids to learn coding skills. I’d recommend it, but maybe confirm if the class dynamics suit your child’s learning style.
