We’re thrilled to introduce Python as a new step in our coding lessons - the perfect bridge for young coders ready to move beyond Scratch’s blocks into text-based programming. Known for its simplicity and real-world use, Python offers an intuitive and readable language that helps kids aged 10+ build strong coding skills before diving into JavaScript. Whether continuing from Scratch or starting fresh, Python opens up exciting new possibilities for our students’ programming journeys!

Why Every New Coco Coder Starts with a Bootcamp

Before beginning our weekly kids coding classes, every new Coco Coders student joins a two-week coding bootcamp for kids. These sessions introduce children to the basics of programming, help them learn to code through fun hands-on projects, and get comfortable using platforms like Scratch or p5.js. It’s the perfect way to ease into our online coding lessons for children, while allowing our expert teachers to assess each student’s ability and place them in the ideal group for their learning level. Whether your child is brand-new or already has some experience, our kids coding bootcamp sets them up for success from the start.
