GAME DESIGN BENEFITS

Games Design encourages innovative learning through a variety of ways

GAME DEISGN BENEFITS

Game Design encourages innovative learning through a variety of ways

Critical Thinking

Building and designing games often involve trial-and-error. When something doesn’t work as expected, students must analyze what went wrong and devise solutions. This iterative process enhances their critical thinking skills.

Team Work

Game Design frequently involves teamwork, with students working together to design, build, and print their models. They learn to communicate, share ideas, and delegate tasks to achieve a common goal.

Creativity and Innovation

Students will enhance their creativity by designing unique Scratch games, encouraging them to think outside the box, experiment with their creations and explore many different ideas visually.

Future Readiness

Game Design helps expose children to technology from an early age. They learn to work with software components and different design programs, developing digital literacy and a comfort level with technology that is essential in nearly all career fields.

Attending Code Central was an enriching experience for both Vincent and Bella. The program offered a comprehensive and engaging curriculum that made learning to code fun and accessible. The instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and always ready to lend a hand. A special shoutout to Sam and Monica for their efforts that made everything run smoothly. My children walked away with newfound skills and a deeper appreciation for the world of coding. Highly recommended for anyone looking to delve into programming!

My son has been taking 1:1 private lessons with Code Central. He has learned a lot over the past year from basic coding, basic electrical wiring, beginner 3d modeling and creating a website. All the staffs are knowledgeable and amazing to talk and work with. My son love everyone whom he worked with especially Melody. Melody has nothing but patient and taught my son so many things. He always comes home and proudly talks about the great projects that he has accomplished and done. We also appreciate that they take time to have a Family Watch week where we can sit in for 30 mins and show us what our child has been working on. Melody took the time to explain the pathway to my son’s individualized curriculum. I appreciate that they cater it to my son’s learning capacity, attention span and ability to retain information and his typing skills. My son always look forward to going to his private lessons once a week.

He attends weekly sessions with Sam, Ebony, Melody, and Monica, and I can't say enough good things about their teaching methods and dedication.Sam has a knack for making complex concepts accessible and engaging.

My son recently did the code central camp week, and he absolutely loved it!I had a few questions before we signed him up, and the staff was super friendly and informative!My son comes home from camp every day telling me how awesome his day was, and excited to go back for more the next day! (And for a kid who hates to get out of bed before noon, this is huge! Lol) They even break up the day with fun little non-screen time activities, which I love!10/10 recommend signing your child up for classes here. We will definitely be looking into more classes with code central!

My son has thoroughly enjoyed his experience at Code Central. He comes home excited to show us something new he learned and accomplished after each session. The special parent night outs and camps are thoughtfully planned and he has loved those as well!

Code Central's staff has really opened my eyes to what's possible for our young kids in the way of learning new computer coding skill sets. I have no doubt that these students will become critical parts in our society's computing and coding revolution. My 10 year old is thriving and getting more serious each week about what he's learning. #1 school in my opinion.

We are a homeschooling family, but coding is something I can't currently teach. So I was delighted to discover Code Central. My kids love going! They talk each week about what the accomplished. The curriculum seems to be broken up into manageable chunks to allow for real learning of the project they are working on. The teachers are all positive, upbeat and knowledgeable. They work with our family to make sure we get the most out of our scheduled time there. We have enjoyed some extras there also, such as: Kid's Night Out, Girl Scout Coding and now Lego Technics. Always fun! Always educational! I highly recommend!

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Code Central. My son has been attending classes in person and because he loves it so much, he has attended summer camp for two years also. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. He has learned so much and always enjoys coming to classes. The facility is always clean and I have no reservations leaving my child there for classes if I can’t stick around.

Code Central has been a very important part of my sons development. I think it has inspired an interest in tech that can’t be easily replaced. He’s been accepted into one of the best tech high schools in the valley. Thanks Code Central l!
