Under the GUI Academy: Coding for Kids — Nature & Outdoors

My son, who is 9 and quite active, recently attended the Under the GUI Academy's Coding for Kids program in Vancouver. He really enjoyed the blend of coding and outdoor activities. During one session, they built a small project using natural elements to create a simple app concept, which he found really engaging. I appreciated the instructor, Jenna, who seemed passionate and kept the kids involved. However, the drop-off lines could get a bit long, and there wasn't much shade for waiting parents, which made things a bit uncomfortable on a hot day. Overall, I think this program is a solid choice for kids who enjoy both nature and learning new skills. My son made a few friends and is excited for the next session.

My child attended the Under the GUI Academy's Coding for Kids program in Vancouver, and overall, we had a solid experience. The program combines nature activities with coding lessons, which kept my 9-year-old engaged and excited. They built a small weather station using natural materials and learned how to code it to track temperature and humidity. The outdoor setting was great for creativity, and my child made a new friend through collaborative projects. One small drawback was the lack of shade during the outdoor sessions, which made some sunny days a bit uncomfortable for the kids. Also, while the instructor, Jenna, was enthusiastic and knowledgeable, I wished for more structured communication regarding the weekly schedule. However, the combination of outdoor time and creative projects makes it worth considering. If your child enjoys being active and is curious about coding, this program is a good fit.
