iCode is a great place for kids to learn such important coding skills

early! There’s no place around quite like it. We’ve been coming for

around 9 months now, we drive from a distance twice a week, and

my son loves it. Highly recommended for boys and girls at

any level!

BRANDY STAFFORD

iCode is helping my son Wyatt to discover how much he loves coding! There’s a good mix of

instruction, challenge and fun. The instructors do a great job of

teaching and coaching the kids, and they also provide regular

feedback on his progress to us parents. The entire setup and facilities are “cool” - so even a

middle school kid wants to be a part of it and work hard during his

free time! If your kid has an interest in computers or coding, then I

recommend checking iCode out.

JANET SCHAEFER

iCode has been amazing for my 11 year old son! He had no

experience with computer programming before starting in

Orange Belt, but after a few sprints he is excited about the

possibilities…especially in the music making sprint! The iCode sta� has been e�cient and kind

while helping us to manage scheduling challenges! What my son learns in iCode will help him

his whole life!

CAROLINE OKANO

We’re really impressed with iCode. The curriculum is well-paced, and

structured e�ectively to give kids a solid technical foundation in areas like computer programming and robotics. The instructors are very

engaging and my child enjoys creating and experimenting at

home using things learned in class. He’s having a lot of fun, and

progressing much faster than when I was working with him, and I have

a technical background!
