★★★★★Keve SmithTheCoderSchool hosted my son’s 9th birthday party. It was the perfect facility for the age group of children that are outgrowing celebrations that involve party games and activities of their yesteryears. This was a turnkey event, and all I needed to handle was food and invites! My son requested a 3D printing party, and it was the perfect balance of guided activity and self led. They designed the trinket of their dreams, and socialized with friends. My son’s friends were so elated that they had the opportunity to use 3D printing technology and merge it with their own imagination. I highly recommend TheCoderSchool of you are looking for a great place to host a birthday party!

★★★★★Jennifer LuckettHighly valued in MANY ways. The staff takes in consideration pairing the right coach with your child, holistically ensuring child and parent are aware of safety guardrails when it comes to anything technology related whether it’s gaming or coding. I absolutely love the dedication and staff as they go above and beyond all day long teaching at the child’s pace and tailored to the child’s interests. Thank you CoderSchool!!! Outstanding job and highly recommended.
★★★★★Andrin Mele-ShadwickOur older son has had a wonderful experience at theCoderSchool. The instructors really encourage him to be creative & see what's possible with the coding knowledge he's acquired. He's always excited to learn because the instructors make it fun. He's enjoyed the gamer nights as well which brings their community of coders together.
