Aspire Coding Academy is a Houston STEM academy that runs small-group coding summer camps for students ages 6-18, with full-day and half-day options. Over a week, campers build their own Python program under guided instruction and take home a finished project; the academy also offers SAT, math and science instruction, led by a Rice CS graduate.

★★★★★Jiyun TarkMy son attended the summer camp for two weeks. I was initially a little worried because he is only 8 years old and had no prior experience with typing. However, he truly enjoyed his time and learned so many new skills. On Friday, the camp held a demonstration day where parents were invited to watch the students present their one-week projects. Each child went up to the front to share and showcase what they had created. It was a wonderful experience. I could tell that not only my son, but all the kids were genuinely excited about coding and appreciated their instructors. The instructors were very encouraging and supportive throughout. My kids definitely want to go back—and I do too!
★★★★★Chi ChiGreat coding experience for my kids! They learned a lot in a fun and educational environment. The class was thoughtfully designed and encouraged the kids to experiment and grow in this new skill. They loved coding their own end product (game).
★★★★★Tami KimAspire Coding Academy's summer camp was a hit! Our rising 6th and 4th graders are at an age when traditional summer camps are a chore. Aspire offered something different, but I had hesitations because I thought my 8 year old was maybe too young and inexperienced to be able to get anything out of it. The week exceeded my expectations. Both boys were enthusiastic about waking up early to get to camp, said the time went quickly, and learned a whole new set of skills that resulted in each of them having a concrete deliverable (game) by the end of the week. I loved the way that Jason thoughtfully incorporated "real-life" sjills by having the students present their work to the parents on the last day. I was impressed. As further and maybe best testament, my boys want to continue learning even after the camps are done, through the school year. What a great intro to coding and what a way to inspire! Highly, highly recommend.
★★★★★Louis ShepardFantastic job of relating to the kids and laying a solid foundation to the world of coding.
★★★★★Jordan ChoiThis was the ideal course for someone like me with very little base and understanding of coding. Aspire made sure they explained the lingo and concepts so that I wasn't just copy pasting from the manual but actually understood what I was doing. More importantly, it helped me see what was possible with this skill and what I could do with it. I had a full epiphany realization that the skills I'll learn from this class can literally equip me to do the things I thought were way out of my reach. Highly recommended!
