“...to many parents... coding looks less like an extracurricular activity and more like a basic life skill…”
-New York Times, April 14, 2014

Parents & Kids Say:

"My brain is on fire!"
- First grader to her grandmother after Hour of Code Night


"My son has wanted to do this for years.  He loved making his own mods, and kept saying he wished this class were longer!  He did not want to miss one minute..."
- Parent, re: Minecraft & Beyond (summer program)

"...Good, well-thought projects for the kids to get a great introduction to what it means to be an engineer..."
- Parent, re: Adventures in Engineering (summer program)

"My son is having a great time.  He is pumped up every afternoon and can't wait to show me everything he learned.  This is especially exciting for our family because he only started reading three months ago after he was introduced to Scratch. The desire to code provided the motivation that no teacher or parent had been able to provide.   He was the last child in first grade to learn to read so his confidence was really low by the end of the year.  His proficiency with Scratch has changed his entire outlook and it is wonderful to see his confidence soar in your class..."
- Mother of young ScratchLab child

"Loved it!  Such an easy way to get my son hooked on learning about computer programming & coding..."
- Edna Maguire Parent
