My kiddo loves the regular coding program and is so excited to start the Roblox club! The teachers are incredible and so patient and encouraging with the students and it’s a great environment to hang out at and get work done while watching your child have a good time as they learn and grow with their classmates.
As a former programmer myself I think this is generally good introduction to learning programming. The kid likes it, it is relatable to him as it is a mix of gameplay and learning. I am not a purist and like the visual code-block building in the beginning as memorizing syntax is boring and no longer relevant IRL.
By contrast my generation wrote code using text editors and learning from o’reiley books where the closest thing to ‘fun’ was the ‘for dummies’ series.
The instructors and the director are all so great! They take great care of the kids and ensure a quality learning experience. As a single mom, It feels great knowing that my son and I have code ninjas as added support.
Flexibility in terms of scheduling (using an app is great), checking my student’s progress is easy, but I would like to know what criteria do teachers grade my student’s works. And if they could provide comments on what to improve on my kid’s works that would be really helpful.
