After-School Coding & Robotics Paths
Paths 2026–27 · iCode of Wellesley
Nine Paths, one hour a week
One topic, ten weeks, and something finished at the end of it. Your child picks the subject. We work out which level they start at.

Fall semester
28 September – 13 December 2026
Ten sessions, one hour a week. We skip Thanksgiving week.
The semester
$445
Second Path at the same time, $375. Brothers and sisters get 5% off both.
Ages 7–15 · ten students to a room · 73 Central Street, Wellesley
Three semesters a year: Fall, Winter and Spring. You pay for the semester you’re in, and nothing renews on its own.
How a Path works
Every Path has numbered levels. Your child starts at the level that matches what they can already do, not their age, and moves up when the instructor says they’re ready.
Each session gives them a brief with requirements and no steps. Working out the how is the lesson. At the end of the semester they take home the thing they built, not a folder of exercises.
The nine Paths
Minecraft
Five levels · Sundays, Thursdays · $445 a semester
Your child already builds in Minecraft. Here they learn why the build works. Then they keep going, one level at a time, for as long as it holds them.
Roblox
Five levels · Sundays · $445 a semester
Your child has played hundreds of Roblox games. On this Path they build one, hand it to a classmate, and watch what breaks.
Python
Five levels · Sundays, Tuesdays · $445 a semester
Python is what professionals write. Your child starts by making small games with it, and ends up reading and fixing code the way a working programmer does.
Shark Tank
Three levels · Tuesdays · $445 a semester
Your child invents something, works out who would buy it and what it costs to make, then stands up and defends it while a panel asks hard questions.
YouTube
Three levels · Mondays · $445 a semester
Your child stops scrolling and starts producing. A storyboard, a camera, an edit, and a finished video with their name on it.
Robotics
Four levels · Mondays, Wednesdays · $445 a semester
A robot that has to cross a room will not argue with you. It either works or it does not, and your child has to find out why.
Scratch
Two levels · Sundays, Tuesdays · $445 a semester
No typing, no syntax errors, nothing to be scared of. Your child drags blocks together and a game happens, then they change one rule and watch what it does.
Digital Arts & 3D Printing
Two levels · Mondays, Sundays · $445 a semester
Posters, characters and logos, and the part nobody teaches: why one version reads instantly and the other one does not. Then your child models an object in 3D and prints it.
Web Design
Two levels · Mondays, Tuesdays · $445 a semester
Your child writes the words, lays out the page, and opens it in a browser before they go home. Then they make it work on a phone.

Thinking about the Belt Program instead?
| A Path | Belt Program | |
| Time | 1 hour a week | 2 hours, plus 2 on a Saturday |
| Shape | One topic, one semester | Ten belts, ten months each |
| What comes home | What they built | Monthly report, portfolio, transcript |
| Saturday STEAM Study Lab | None | Included, two hours a month |
| Price | $445 a semester | $425 a month |
A Path samples one topic for a semester. The Belt Program is the ten-month spine, in a group of about six, with a written report every month. Plenty of families do both.
