Ember Coding Lab is a San Diego-area coding and AI lab for kids ages 6 to 12, where students start by coding the Roblox games they already play and then move up to real-world projects in Python and AI. Its Roblox coding camps pair morning coding with afternoon sports and keep a 1:4 instructor-to-student ratio; weekly sessions are held at Del Mar's Surf and Turf Tennis Center on Saturdays at 10:00, 11:00, 2:00 and 3:00. Instructors are technologists drawn from UC San Diego. Families can book a free 30-minute one-on-one discovery session before enrolling.

★★★★★Nancy TrevisinIf you’re looking for something new to enhance your child’s education, look no further. We were introduced to Ember Coding Lab at a school function last year and our grandson has been attending weekly classes ever since. Cecilia ,and her highly skilled and friendly staff, provide a learning environment second to none.
★★★★★TanishaI highly recommend Ember Coding Lab! Cecilia and her team are friendly, patient, and knowledgeable, making the coding experience fun and engaging! It's a very positive environment that fosters problem-solving and creativity. My child absolutely loves the weekly sessions! The curriculum is age-appropriate, building a solid foundation before moving to more advanced concepts. What also stands out is the personalized attention and low student-to-instructor ratio. Their project-based approach keeps kids motivated and helps them apply what they learn in a tangible way. Ember Coding Lab is so much more than just a class, it's a supportive environment where kids gain confidence and valuable life skills. I highly recommend giving Ember Coding a try!
★★★★★Amy SardarianHighly recommend! Ember has been an incredible experience for my 8yo. We started attending this school more then a year ago. The way they teach makes everything so clear and easy to understand, even if you’re just starting out. Customer care is exceptional! Cecilia, Peter and all the teachers are always there to help. The support and community here make it feel like a family. I love how they focus on real-world skills — you’re not just learning concepts, but actually putting them into practice. If you want to learn coding in a way that’s both fun and effective, Ember Coding is the place to be!
★★★★★Joseph HeineMet the owners today and can tell they are dedicated to early childhood development and the teaching arts. Being computer literate is THE most important skill in the 21st century economy; your son or daughter will be well served here, as this is an investment in their future. As a martial-arts school owner, I recommend Ember Coding Lab as an aid to the spectrum of your child’s real-world education.
