"I made an obby in Roblox called Groovy Foodies. I liked that I could be creative and show what I learned in my own way. My favorite part was making the gummy bears and the gumdrop level. I hope kids have fun playing my game."

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Do you really have a whiteboard wall?

We sure do! We were inspired by software companies, like Google, who often use whiteboard walls to collaborate as a team.

What ages do you teach?

We teach kids ages 6-12. Our younger kids must be proficient in reading to get started.

The best way to know if your child is ready is to schedule a complimentary 1:1 visit to the studio.

What is your summer schedule?

We will hold summer camp in Del Mar's Surf and Turf. We will hold our regular hours at our coding lab in Peñasquitos.

What can my child do at home?

Kids can download Roblox Studio at home, for free, and add to their projects. New curriculum will be taught in our coding lab.

How does pricing work?

Families pay a monthly membership for once-a-week coding classes.
