Zebra Robotics Toronto Danforth — Video Game Design

I enrolled my 9-year-old son in the Video Game Design program at Zebra Robotics in Toronto Danforth. Overall, it was a good experience. Each week, he got to build his own levels and characters using a program called Scratch. His instructor, Jenna, was great at keeping him engaged and organized, which made the learning process enjoyable. I appreciated the small group size, as it allowed for more personalized attention. However, I did notice that the kids spent quite a bit of time on screens, which I'm not entirely comfortable with. But my son, who is quite creative, really thrived in this environment. He was excited to share his creations at pickup each week. I would recommend this program to other parents, but I’d advise them to have conversations about screen time with their kids.

My 12-year-old son recently completed the Video Game Design program at Zebra Robotics in Toronto Danforth, and overall, we had a good experience. The instructor, Max, was really engaging and took time to connect with the kids, which I appreciated. Each week, my son worked on creating his own game, and he was thrilled to learn about different programming languages. The small group size allowed for more personalized attention, which helped him feel more confident in sharing his ideas. One small annoyance was the amount of screen time, which felt excessive during some classes. I would’ve liked to see more balance with hands-on activities. That said, my son made a couple of friends and has been inspired to continue coding at home. I would recommend this program for other kids interested in tech, just with a heads-up about the screen time.
