Award-winning programs for kids grades 1-8 that build technical and social-emotional skills.
With the demand for STEM workers continuing to increase, learning coding from an early age is a sure way to gain an advantage in today’s competitive career world. Kids code games, websites and more. They learn how computers work, exercise creativity by coming up with ideas for how their project will look and feel, and build resilience and perseverance when trouble-shooting their code. When kids learn to code with MakerKids they don’t only learn how to code in isolation. Instead, in addition to learning internet safety, game design and beta testing (and having fun while at it), your Child will learn very valuable social skills such as resilience and confidence. Coding also lets kids use their creativity to the max. You never know what you can create until you try.
