Coding with Kids has been teaching coding enrichment classes to K-12 students, both in person and online since 2013. We provide a developmentally appropriate coding curriculum for various grade levels. We focus first on teaching coding skills concepts and introducing students to different programming languages appropriate for their age and experience level. We recognize that each child learns differently. Our curriculum allows students to advance at their own pace. Our goal is that no one is left behind and those students who need extensions have opportunities to stretch themselves beyond expectations. You can learn more at our website, which is www.codingwithkids.com.
Currently serving schools in Montgomery County and Northern Virginia.

Learn to code robots! Students will learn the basics of programming a robot and learn how to use code along with hardware to open up so many more possibilities with technology. Through a block-based, visual programming platform, coders will learn introductory concepts, such as code structure, variables, and loops. They will apply these concepts, along with problem-solving and creative thinking, to program their robot to complete mission challenges, such as avoiding obstacles, light sensing and following a path.
