SteamPi Education — Coding

My son recently participated in the SteamPi Education coding class in Vancouver, and overall, it was a solid experience. The instructor, Mike, was very engaging and worked well with the kids, guiding them through a project where they built their own simple video game. I appreciated the small group size, as it allowed for more personalized attention. My son, who is quite creative, really thrived in this environment, and he came home excited about what he learned each week. One small annoyance was the lack of clear communication about the pickup location; we had to ask around the first time to find where to go. Despite that, I would recommend this program to other parents looking for a way to introduce their kids to coding in a fun and engaging way.

My son attended the SteamPi Education coding program in Vancouver, and overall, we had a positive experience. The class, held every Saturday, focused on building a simple game using Scratch, which he really enjoyed. The instructor, Lisa, was engaging and provided one-on-one support to the kids, helping them brainstorm ideas for their projects. I appreciated that the group size was small, which allowed for more personalized attention. My son also made a friend during the program, which was a nice bonus. One downside was the amount of screen time; I wish they had incorporated more hands-on activities away from the computer. Nonetheless, I would recommend this program for kids who are focused and creative, as it fosters their interest in coding in a fun way.
