Code Ninjas is North America's largest kids coding franchise. In our Dojos, kids don't just learn coding - they learn important life skills such as leadership, creativity, problem-solving and computational and critical thinking, and STEM skills in a fun, safe, and inspiring environment - by playing and building video games they love. Kids have a blast and can't wait to come back. Parents are thrilled as their children gain confidence and new skills including coding, math, logic, and problem-solving, as they progress from white to black belt.

Guided by our team of Code Senseis, Code Ninjas empower kids to gain valuable tech skills and make new friends. It's an unforgettably fun learning experience! Our Camps help teach important life skills wrapped up in themes they love, like Robotics, Roblox, Minecraft, YouTube, and more!

We strive to have a positive relationship with the community by providing a safe and welcoming learning environment for kids, outside of school. We encourage our students to use their coding skills to make a positive impact on the community, such as creating apps or websites to solve problems.

Our curriculum teaches kids to code by creating games using tools such as ScratchJr, MakeCode Arcade, and Unity. They are not just
passively playing games - they are building games while learning the fundamentals of coding and having a great time doing it!
