Note: "This course outline is a general guideline, we go by the pace of the group, when it comes to coding and creativity students have to get the hang of it."

Class structure :
1. We group them by their skills and ages
2. We go by the group's pace - Not so fast and slow - Adequate level

Teaching style :
1. Make kids understand that coding is FUN, not a subject to worry about scores and grades too much
2. Make them understanding applications of coding to create interest - Not to "just learn" something
3. We also help them understand coding pathway if they meet the challenges presented
4. Homework will be provided

Interactivity:
Highly interactive. Students can interact with Instructor just like in the classroom. Instructors are trained to control the class and keep the noise levels to low. We use Powerpoints and some of the exercises from Nexclap (Our own product developed for students). Participants are able to join the class from their homes and interact with us in real-time, it is a fun and engaging experience.

Pre-requisites :
None! Just have fun with it. if you have attended a few camps or classes and have some basic understanding, that's great. We help them to understand how to put that knowledge to use to create real things.

My 10 year old absolutely loves learning computer programming lessons like Minecraft or Roblox. The instructor was so patient and he tried to maximize the chance for my kid to learn through fun activities. I'd recommend teacher Michael!

The class is said to be 3 hours long each day, but due to the low enrollment, it changed from group class for 3 hours to 1:1 for 1 hour.

Dear Jin- Sorry that we had to reduce number of hours. but This was most acceptable by lot of parents and students, as 3 hrs in 1-on-1 setting can be over whelming. We took your permission before changing the format. We did it only with your consent. Student may not get 60 mins of dedicated attention if it was in a group even in 3 hr camp. Hope your child took advantage of the attention.

Our 8 year old twin sons are taking an online coding class and have been living it! The online instructor is patient and friendly and my kids look up to him. Online class is hard for this age but the instructor keeps it engaging and it’s set with a Minecraft setting to make it more fun and less like just coding. I appreciate this group and our instructor a lot! Thank you.
