Where Kids Learn to Think Critically

We offer in-person and online classes and camps for kids and teens in a caring, inclusive space for students to have fun, be challenged, and grow as thinkers, learners, and leaders. Through hands-on projects like coding games, animations, and interactive stories, as well as exploring foundational concepts in artificial intelligence, data, algorithms, and logic, students build creativity, confidence, and computational thinking. They develop not just technical skills, but the mindset of thoughtful, adaptable problem solvers.

From Early Computers to Predicting the Next Word At their core, today's AIs are "word predictors." That may sound humble, but it's the foundation of everything they do, from writing stories, answering questions, generating code, tutoring kids, and more. Early models learned to predict the next word in a sentence by reading lots of text. For example: “The cat sat on the ___.” A basic model would…

What Families Are Saying About The Coding Space

I love it here because in my other classes and camps, they just give the answers to you. Here I get to figure it out for myself. It’s more exciting because I learned it myself.

Sofia, age 9

The Coding Space has opened up a whole new world for our daughter, which was especially needed when she couldn’t see friends in person. Her classes are the highlight of her week, and it’s so incredible to watch her progress.
