Coding & Tech Foundations
Think like a creator. Build like an engineer. Master core coding and tech skills by building awesome, hands-on projects.
From solid foundations to unlimited creativity
Through coding, engineering and AI-powered projects, students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills to create with technology — not just consume it.
Our programs combine structured curriculum with exciting projects across coding, robotics, engineering and AI.

AI in our curriculum
AI supports the work.
Students own the thinking.
In real-world software development, AI is a powerful productivity accelerator—not a replacement for human critical thinking. At Coding with Kids, students build strong fundamentals and stay focused on critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving. AI is introduced gradually, based on student’s age, experience, and learning goals—and only after they have the foundation to use it thoughtfully.
Thoughtful AI Integration Within the Coder’s Ladder
Coding Foundations
Levels 1–2
Visual, block-based coding builds core logic. No AI tools yet—foundations come first.
Text-Based Programming
Level 3
AI helps answer questions, explain errors, and support debugging as students transition to text-based coding.
Application Development
Levels 4–6
AI supports debugging, testing, documentation, and selected coding tasks.
Software Engineering
Level 7 & up
AI becomes part of a disciplined workflow for planning, review, testing, and delivery.
Consistent Principles Across Tech Pathways
Beyond our flagship Coder’s Ladder classes, our Camps and After-school Programs are driven by our Tech Pathways curriculum. It follows the same foundational rules: AI is introduced thoughtfully, responsibly, and only when it enhances the learning goals.
Progressive curriculum
Ten years’ worth of classes. Two tracks designed to grow with our students.
- Our flagship classes climb up the Coder's Ladder®.
- School programs and camps follow Tech Pathways.
Skills First, Tools Second
Great programmers know how to write great code. Great engineers know how to design, build and iterate. We teach coding and technology skills first, then introduce languages and tools appropriate for each student’s age and experience level.
AI as a Productivity Tool
AI is introduced based on each student’s age and advancement level. It supports productive work in our curriculum; it never replaces the student’s own thinking and effort.
Project Focused
No boring theory lectures! Kids and teens learn coding and technology concepts as they build projects, from Scratch games and 3D games to robotics and engineering challenges.
Individualized Approach
We recognize that each child learns differently. Our curriculum lets students advance at their own pace, so no one is left behind or held back by slow progress.
