What Sets Us Apart?
Code & Grow offers a unique education initiative for children aged 5–12, combining coding with essential life skills. Our term-based, in-person classes integrate technical learning such as ScratchJr, Scratch, Python, and robotics with focus training, emotional regulation, planning, and digital awareness.
At Code & Grow, we don’t just tell kids what coding is — we bring it to life. Every lesson follows our 3-step active learning cycle designed to build lasting understanding:

Explain the Concept
We start each session by introducing a real-world idea — like sequences, loops, or conditionals — through storytelling, analogies, or guided discussion.
“If it’s raining, take an umbrella” — that’s a conditional!
Embody the Learning
Next, we bring the concept to life with movement or role-play. Kids act it out, play a game, or complete a physical challenge that feels like the code.
Think of kids jumping in a loop or giving each other precise instructions to “debug” a backpack-packing routine.
Explore with Code
Then we open the laptops. Kids use Scratch, Micro:bit, or Python to build something that reflects what they just experienced — a game, a story, a gadget.
Now that they’ve lived the concept, they understand the code behind it.
