Computer Science Classes Made for Kids and Teens
Our computer science courses for kids are designed with fun hands-on learning projects that they truly enjoy! Kids ages 8-18 can learn coding with a live instructor using our structured and progressive classes. At the end, they will have the computer and coding skills to participate in a real-world internship.
Coding Prepares Kids for the Future
Computer science is the study of the computer and its processes. Kids and teens who learn computer science (CS) can get a head start on a variety of college majors and careers. Computer science is also a pillar of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) education. There are several styles of computer science programs, but many schools don’t offer kids coding classes.
If your kids are missing a structured CS course, or if your child isn’t engaged in the classes their school does offer, CodeWizardsHQ offers fun project-based computer science classes where students learn real-world computer programming languages.
The Power of Computer Science
What can kids do with computer science knowledge? Many fields, including engineering and robotics, rely on computer science. So, understanding how a computer functions and how to code gives children a solid foundation to go into college and career.
Take a Live, Online Coding Course
Students learn computer science skills with the experts.
Through our live, online computer science classes, students can learn popular coding languages like Python, Scratch, JavaScript, and Java. Kids will build their coding skills and their confidence at the same time.
Coding in High School
Teens learn the fundamentals of coding in Python through structured classes. Python coding language has the advantage of being an in-demand language for current computer-related jobs and also being easy for kids and beginners to learn. While using a professional tech stack, students learn the necessary coding skills to create their own game or website. Once they successfully complete the high school classes, they are invited to apply for our real-world coding internship.
Coding in Middle School
Middle school students start coding with Python classes and learn fundamental code concepts like variables, functions, and loops. Kids will learn how to create their own websites and games using code and are free to experiment while they learn. These coding classes teach students skills in Python, HTML, and JavaScript in a fun way. In addition, they provide your child with an excellent foundation in computer science that will serve them well in high school, college, and the future!
Coding in Elementary School
Kids in elementary school start learning computer science concepts with Scratch, a block-based coding language. The information is taught in a way that teaches kids how to code quickly and effectively. Children will learn about how computers work and practice their basic computing skills. Through classes starting with Scratch, elementary students learn the skills to think like a programmer while building fun, interactive animations and games.
What is computer science for kids?
Computer science for kids is how we teach children about the study of computers and computational systems. It studies the theory, design, development, and application of software and software systems. Computer science combines mathematics, engineering, and science to develop computer systems.
How do I get my child started in computer science?
Get your child started based on their age. The elementary school program, for ages 8-10, starts young students with block-based coding in Scratch. In the middle school, ages 11-13, and high school, ages 14-18, coding programs, students jump right into Python. Learn more about our top-rated coding program.
At what age can a child start learning computer science?
Kids as young as 4-years-old can start learning basic computer science concepts like patterns and sequences. There is no right age to start, the goal is to choose an age-appropriate program that keeps them engaged to learn more. Our coding classes are developed specifically for your child’s age level.

Questions? We Are Here to Help.
Easy answers to some common questions.
Is it okay if my child has no coding experience?
Yes, absolutely! Our classes are designed specifically for beginners—no experience is required at all.
Do you offer a free trial class?
We offer something better than a free trial! One trial class is not enough to decide if a program is right for your child. That’s why we offer a 100% Money-Back Guarantee for the first four sessions. Your student will receive 4 hours of live instruction, 4 class projects, and access to all beyond-the-classroom support. If your child is not satisfied, simply request a full refund before the fifth session.

What course should my elementary school student start with?
Elementary school students should start with Animation and Games with Scratch, the first course of the Elementary School Core track. Scratch lets kids focus on learning the fundamental coding concepts and the logic of programming without getting frustrated by typing or syntax errors. It’s fun, visual, and really draws them into the magic of creating something with code.
Can my child skip the Scratch courses if they already know Scratch?
Our Scratch course is very different from the casual, unstructured experience most kids have had. It’s a structured 12-week program where students learn a new programming concept in every class—like loops, conditionals, variables, and functions—in a way that’s fun and age-appropriate for 8–10 year olds. If you believe your child is ready to move past Scratch and start with text-based coding, please reach out to us.
What if my student needs help between classes?
In addition to live, instructor-led classes, we provide a full support system to help students succeed. Every class is recorded, so students can go back and review anything they missed. We also offer daily homework help—students can drop in anytime without needing to schedule, and get help from a live instructor. Plus, we have an instructor-moderated student community where kids can ask questions and support each other.
I have a 10-year-old, which program should I enroll?
If your child is turning 11 within the next six months, we recommend starting with the Middle School Core Track. Otherwise, they should begin with Animation and Games with Scratch, the first course in our Elementary School Core Track. If you believe your child is ready to move past Scratch and start with text-based coding, please reach out to us.
What if my child misses a class?
We encourage students to attend live classes so they can ask questions and interact with their instructor and classmates in real time. However, we understand that occasional absences happen. That’s why we record all classes and make the video and class slides available to your student shortly after the session ends. Your student can watch the recording, complete the classwork and homework, and if they need help, they can ask in the student forum, attend daily homework help, or schedule office hours.
