Under the GUI Academy - North Vancouver: Coding for Kids — Robotics

My son recently attended the Coding for Kids — Robotics program at Under the GUI Academy in North Vancouver, and overall, we had a solid experience. The classes are small, allowing for more interaction with the instructor, Jake, who was very engaging. My son built a small robot that could navigate through a maze, which he found thrilling. However, we did experience some long lines during drop-off, which made mornings a bit hectic. The hands-on projects not only taught coding fundamentals but also encouraged creativity, which is exactly what we were looking for. The program is well-structured, and my son has expressed interest in returning for another session. If you're considering this for your child, I would recommend it but plan to arrive a bit early to avoid the lines.

We enrolled my son in the Robotics program at Under the GUI Academy in North Vancouver, and overall, it was a solid experience. The instructors, particularly Sarah, were very engaged and took the time to ensure each child understood the concepts while building their robots. My son created a robot that could navigate around obstacles, which he was really proud of. However, we did experience some long lines during pickup, which was a bit frustrating after a long day for both of us. The small group size allowed for more personalized attention, which I appreciated. I would recommend this program for parents looking for a creative outlet for their kids who are interested in technology and engineering. It’s a nice blend of hands-on learning and coding, but be prepared for some wait time at the end of sessions.
