Join us at this weekly session which will be full of fun, challenges, and socializing with other Minecraft builders like you. Throughout the 1-hour session, a Code With Us instructor will provide instructions, prompts, and mini-challenges. All students will be in a server together, with the instructor, where they can interact virtually. If you have any questions or concerns, simply ask! Build friends and see them every week in this fun opportunity! The instructor will get to know the student's interests and find what they enjoy. However, by default, each month will have a theme in case the students do not have any preferences: January - Space February - Animals March - Strategy April - Spring Time May - Sports June - Fire trucks July - Super heroes August - Cowboys and cowgirls September - Star Wars October - Halloween November - Jungle December - Holiday Snow Starting January 2021, we will provide new topics each month or re-use these topics, depending on parent feedback.
Learning Goals
Our goal is to inspire students to solve problems creatively, logically and collaboratively. Because computer science is a lifelong skill with thousands of applicable uses, we set each student's learning goals each session based on their age, interest, and previous experience.

Teacher expertise and credentials
CodeWithUs, an EdTech organization based in Silicon Valley, was founded in 2016. Since then, we have expanded to multiple in-person locations and over 60 school campuses in the SF Bay Area and greater New York area.
As one of the largest U.S.-based EdTech schools, we serve over 10,000 students worldwide. In addition to the U.S. and Canada, we have students in Europe, Australia, and Asia learning various programming languages, robotics, virtual reality, 3D printing, and creative game design. Popular coding topics include Scratch, Roblox (Lua), Minecraft Modding, Python, JavaScript, Arduino, and more.
Our teaching staff, all based in the U.S., consists of Computer Science graduates and students from top universities. Teachers are thoroughly vetted for their coding skills, teaching ability, and background before joining the team. They undergo regular training to continually improve their teaching skills.
We provide personalized attention to each student through project-based learning. Our customized curricula, featuring project-focused instructions, guide students step-by-step to create games and projects in their chosen coding languages. Teachers explain and break down code steps and purposes while collaborating with students on projects. We emphasize game design projects to engage students and maintain their interest in the subject.
Our students actively participate in coding competitions and perform well in hackathons organized by large corporations and groups.
We are the preferred partner of Google, Salesforce, HP, Intel, and many other large corporations for internal kids' and family coding events.Reviews
