Welcome to Skill Samurai's Junior Coders Web Development Program!

Program Description
Skill Samurai brings a fun and engaging after-school coding program to Advantage Academy! Designed for 3rd–5th graders, our sessions introduce kids to real-world coding using beginner-friendly tools like Scratch, HTML, CSS, and Python. No prior experience is needed—just curiosity and creativity. Students will learn at their own pace while developing problem-solving skills, confidence, and a love for technology.

 

 

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is Scratch, and who uses it to learn how to code?
Scratch is a beginner-friendly coding platform created by MIT. It's used by millions of kids around the world to learn how to code by building animations, interactive stories, and games. It’s perfect for young learners because it uses visual blocks instead of typed code.

2. Isn’t my child too young to learn coding?
Not at all! Just like learning a second language, starting early makes it easier. Our program is designed specifically for kids in grades k-10th, with fun, age-appropriate projects that make coding easy to understand and exciting to learn.

3. I’m worried about too much screen time.
That’s a valid concern—and one we share! Instead of passive screen time, our program transforms it into purposeful tech time. We channel kids’ love for games into building their own. They’ll also get a glimpse into how coding can be used in careers like robotics, web design, and animation.

4. What if my child has never coded before?
That’s totally fine! Our program is beginner-friendly and self-paced, so kids can learn at their comfort level while getting support when needed. No experience required.

5. How does this help my child outside of coding?
Coding builds critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and resilience—skills that help kids succeed in any subject, not just technology.
