Who are we?
Code Ninjas is the nation’s fastest-growing kids coding franchise. In our centre, kids learn to code in a fun, non-intimidating way by playing and building video games they love using block coding and JavaScript. Kids have blast and can’t wait to come back. Parents are thrilled as their children gain confidence and new skills, including coding, math, logic, and problem-solving, as they progress from white to black belt. Our core promise is that kids have fun, and parents see results.
