PROBLEMS WE ARE SOLVING Kids in the US are falling behind the rest of the world in STEM subjects. Schools don’t have time or resources to meet demand for quality coding education. Existing after school programs are boring and parents have to drag kids there. Existing online materials are too hard for kids to understand by themselves. Kids like to play and have fun, while parents want to see real results. We want our kids to be social, but screen time at home is a solitary exercise. CODE NINJAS SOLUTION Provide a place where gaming is celebrated as kids gain confidence in coding, math, logic, and problem solving.
