About Code Ninjas:
Code Ninjas is a leader in after-school coding and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) education. We offer a variety of classes tailored to different needs:
Our drop-in coding classes teach children (ages 5-14) to code through their love of video games! Our students (who we call “ninjas”) have fun while learning at their own pace; they’ll never feel like they’re falling behind or that it’s too easy.
Our weeklong camps take campers on a deep dive into STEAM and gaming topics. Whether the camp is about making mods in Minecraft, ROBLOX, 3D Printing or gaming controllers out of fruit, we believe children learn best through hands-on play.
Our after-school coding classes are run on-site at local partnered elementary schools. Students are taught coding through making video games, similar to our drop-in classes, but in a traditional teacher-classroom format.
We are looking for people who love working with children! Though we teach coding and other STEAM topics, our first priority is to make sure our ninjas feel supported and safe to explore their curiosities. Having fun is just as important as learning how to code!
