Learning to code can be difficult, but so is learning karate, gymnastics, or playing piano. Consistent practice, week after week, is how you become a great developer. Our programs build upon main principles of game & web design and programming reinforced with hands-on practice of newly learned skills. Our expert Coding Coaches are always there to support our superheroes. Students enjoy building fun projects and advancing through our hero ranks. Super flexible schedule allows parents to drop off their kids at any time during business hours without worry of ever being late.
Progress through the hero ranks
The Way of a Hero is an extensive and rewarding journey ahead. Students earn new ranks as they progress forward in the curriculum.
