Code Ninjas Vancouver East — Video Game Design

I enrolled my 9-year-old son in the Video Game Design program at Code Ninjas Vancouver East, and overall, it was a solid experience. The instructors, especially Sam, were very engaged and supportive, which made a big difference. My son created his very own platformer game, and he was thrilled to share it with us. The small group size allowed for more personalized attention, which was a big plus. However, I did find that there was a bit too much screen time involved for my liking; I would have preferred more hands-on activities away from the computer. The pickup process was straightforward, though it got a bit crowded at times, so be prepared for that. Still, I would recommend this program for kids who are creative and interested in game design. Just keep an eye on the screen time balance.

My son attended the Video Game Design program at Code Ninjas Vancouver East for the past month, and it's been a solid experience overall. The instructor, Jake, was very engaging and made sure each child felt included. My son loved working on his own game project, which involved creating characters and levels. He even made a new friend during group activities, which was a nice bonus. However, I did notice the pickup times were a bit chaotic, with long lines forming at the end of each session. It would be helpful if they could streamline that process a bit. The small group size allowed for great individual attention, which my son really benefited from. Overall, I'd recommend this program for creative kids interested in game design, just be prepared for some time at pickup.
