Testimonials

Our parents and students talk about their experiences with PlayToCode

“Our two daughters (aged 8 and 11) recently attended a fantastic technical camp hosted by PlayToCode, and we couldn’t be happier with their experience. Right from the start, the instructors were welcoming and super enthusiastic, quickly connecting with the kids and making the environment both fun and educational. Over the week, our children dived into coding, virtual reality (VR), and robotics. It was amazing to see how much they learned in such a short time. The camp balanced teaching and hands-on projects perfectly, keeping the kids engaged and excited to learn more each day. 
 
What really stood out was the dedication of the instructors. They were not only knowledgeable but also patient and supportive, making sure every child felt included and understood. My kids came home each day full of stories about what they’d learned and eager to keep exploring. I highly recommend this tech camp to any parent looking for an educational and inspiring experience for their children. It’s been a week of growth and excitement for my kids, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity.”

“I really enjoyed the camp because of the scratch that we learned. Scratch is a coding app where you can make your own game. I also enjoyed making the robots.”

“At Coding Camp I think my fav was learning VR. Also coding in scratch was epic. I mean I literally loved it. It was awesome and had so much fun.”
