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.
My child has no coding experience. Is it ok?
Yes! Our classes are designed so that no prior experience is necessary.
Classes are beginner-friendly. Simply start with the first class in the program for your child’s age:
- Animation and Games with Scratch for ages 8-10
- Intro to Programming with Python for ages 11-13
- Intro to Python for ages 14-18
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. Instead, we offer a 100% Money-Back Guarantee for four full sessions. Receive 4 hours of live instruction, 4 class projects, and access to all beyond-the-classroom support before you decide. If your child is not satisfied, request a full refund before the fifth lesson.

What course should my elementary school student start with?
The first course of the Elementary School Core track is Animation and Games with Scratch.
In this course, elementary students learn fundamental coding concepts using Scratch’s block programming interface. Block coding is ideal for younger students to explore coding in a visually engaging way and without worrying about difficult syntax or their computing skills.
Upon successful completion, students progress through our structured curriculum and advance to text-based programming in Python and JavaScript.
My child already knows Scratch. What do I do?
Our structured curriculum is designed to start with the first course. However, students may test out of Wizard Level I Course 1 and 2.
Elementary School Core Track
Class 1: Animation and Games with Scratch
Class 2: Logic with Scratch
If your child is confident about the material in that class, take a placement exam to skip to the next course in the core track.
How do you teach elementary students coding?
Elementary school students, ages 8-10, start with Animation and Games with Scratch.
They learn coding fundamentals while crafting fun programs and games in Scratch, a drag-and-drop coding language designed to teach kids how to code. As they master Scratch, they will transition from block-based coding to text-based languages like Python, JavaScript, and HTML/CSS. Once they complete all Wizard Levels, they will obtain the skills to code games, websites, and more.
What if my student needs help between classes?
We never leave students hanging! They can seek help 24/7 via our valuable and complimentary beyond-the-classroom support and get help during and between classes when they need us.
Unlike other coding classes, students have access to a full suite of beyond-the-classroom benefits, including daily homework help, 24/7 access to proprietary coding platform, video recordings of every class, downloadable slides for every class, and supportive online student community.
See all beyond-the-classroom benefits.
I have a 10-year-old, which program should I enroll?
10-year-old students should start with the Animation and Games with Scratch in the elementary school core track. They may choose the middle school core track if they’re confident about text-based programming and have a typing speed of 25 wpm with 90% accuracy.
After you complete the online enrollment, have your child take a typing test, then email a screenshot of your results to school@codewizardshq.com to be placed in the middle school core track.
