Students Start With Scratch
Scratch, a block-based programming language, was designed specifically to teach kids how to code. That’s why our program for kids ages 8-10 starts with this easy drag and drop platform. Students learn key coding fundamentals while creating fun games to encourage them to keep learning.From Block-Based to Real World Programming
Within Wizard Level I, students move from Scratch to starting with text-based programming languages. By the end of the program, they’ll be building games and websites with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.
Class Schedule
All students start in Animation and Games With Scratch at Wizard Level I. If you have previous coding experience, take the Placement test. Returning students can continue with the class where they left off.

Hear From Our Students
“I decided to learn coding over other activities because coding is more fun and you can learn a lot more than other activities. I like that you can create your own games using coding languages.”
-- Michael, CodeWizardsHQ Middle School Student

“The lessons are awesome and you can ask questions, you don’t have to hesitate. The stuff that the teachers teach us is more influential and you can actually remember it easier.”
-- Reetika, CodeWizardsHQ Middle School Student
Hear From Our Students
“Once you understand the basics of the coding, you can just do anything from there. Like in HTML, there’s a lot of things you can do with the code, but once you just know like how to type it, I think that’s easy and you can just keep coding.”
-- Ellie, CodeWizardsHQ Middle School Student
Questions? We Are Here to Help.
Easy answers to some common questions.
What technology do we need?
You need a computer with a microphone and a speaker, a browser (Google Chrome) and a good internet connection.
Chromebooks and iPads are not compatible with our platform.
See full details on What Technology is Needed for Class.
What course should I start with in elementary school?
The first course is Animation and Games with Scratch. Upon successful completion of the first course, students progress through our structured and progressive curriculum in the order that they are listed on the curriculum page. See the placement testing page if your student has significant coding experience and would like to start at a higher level in the program.
I have a 10 year old, which program should I enroll?
Most 8-10 year old students should start with the Animation and Games with Scratch. If you’re 10, you may choose the middle school program if you are confident about text-based programming and your typing speed is 25 wpm with 90% accuracy. After you complete the online enrollment, take a typing test then email a screenshot of your results to [email protected] to be placed in the middle school program.
My child already knows Scratch. What do I do?
If your child has good prior coding experience in Scratch, then take a placement exam to skip to the next course.
We highly recommend that you review the full course curriculum and feel confident about knowing that material before taking the placement exam.
