CodaKid offers three learning options to fit your child’s needs and schedule. Private 1-on-1 tutoring provides personalized instruction with a live teacher, including weekly, twice-weekly, and blended learning plans. Self-paced courses let students learn at their own pace through 115+ interactive video courses, with teacher support available when needed. Live small-group classes and camps allow students to learn alongside peers with guidance from an experienced instructor.

CodaKid students progress from beginner-friendly coding to professional programming, AI development, and real-world projects. Our Coding Basics track introduces younger learners to visual block coding using Scratch, Minecraft, and Roblox, including a custom visual coding plugin we developed for the Roblox community. As students advance, they learn real programming languages such as Python, JavaScript, Java, Lua, C#, HTML, and CSS while building games, Minecraft mods, Roblox experiences, apps, and websites. In our AI courses, students learn to build AI-powered games, apps, automations, and agentic systems using technologies such as the ChatGPT API and Model Context Protocol (MCP). For older learners, our Prepology portfolio program helps students develop and launch real-world projects, including shippable AI apps, AI-powered educational games for social good, and AI-powered startups designed to attract real users and gain traction.

No. Our beginner courses are made for kids who have never coded, and every course lists its starting age and level. Not sure where to start? Talk to a CodaKid advisor.

Not at all! CodaKid is designed so parents don’t need any technical experience. Our self-paced platform includes 24/7 AI learning agents trained specifically on CodaKid’s curriculum and teaching methodology to help students when they get stuck. Students can also schedule support sessions with our human support engineers for additional assistance. Private tutoring students receive personalized guidance from their dedicated instructor. Your most important job? Encourage your child and ask them to show you what they’ve built!

Course length varies depending on the subject and skill level. Most beginner courses are designed to take just 1 to 2 hours, giving kids quick wins as they build fun, playable projects. Intermediate and advanced courses can take considerably longer as students develop increasingly sophisticated, professional-grade games, apps, and websites. Students can learn at their own pace and spend additional time customizing and expanding their creations.

CodaKid’s certified instructors come from top universities and are trained in our Mastery Method, a Socratic approach that emphasizes critical thinking, problem-solving, and learning by doing. Students receive personalized instruction tailored to their interests, experience, and learning pace. Parents receive a progress report after every session, and our 100% instructor match guarantee helps ensure your child is paired with the right teacher.

Absolutely! In fact, learning to code is becoming more important in a different way because of AI. Today’s students don’t need to memorize every programming command or write every line of code from scratch. AI can handle much of that work. But AI-generated code isn’t always correct, secure, or efficient. To build useful software with AI, students still need to understand programming fundamentals, how software systems work, how different components fit together, and how to identify and fix problems. Without that foundation, they may be able to generate code but struggle to turn it into a reliable, working product. At CodaKid, we teach students both traditional coding fundamentals and modern AI-assisted development, preparing them to become creators who can design, build, troubleshoot, and launch real applications, not just generate code with prompts.
