What iCode Parents are Saying
Fantastic program! My son has been enrolled for 2 years and still loves going every Saturday for 2 hours. Kids are not simply stuck in front of a computer learning how to make video games. The curriculum is well thought out and developed to encourage critical thinking, independent thinking and more importantly how to work as team.
