OpenCodeClub Kids turns curiosity into capability. From their first LEGO robot to their first Python program — taught by mentors who genuinely love this stuff.
Studies show kids who learn coding and robotics early build stronger problem-solving, sequencing, and critical-thinking skills — and more confidence pursuing STEM later. We make it click through play, projects, and a lot of high-fives.
We're a non-profit. Sessions are offered on request — single sessions or 2-session mini-series — for a minimum fee of $12 CAD per child, per session. Up to 12 kids per session.
Mixing curious 4-year-olds with 14-year-olds is a recipe for chaos. We don't do that. Each tier has its own pace, tools, and projects.
Big foam blocks, friendly robots, and the magic of cause-and-effect.
Where kids first see "their code" make something real happen on screen — or in a robot.
Real text-based code, real circuits, real projects to put on a portfolio.
Each program runs as a single 90-minute session or a 2-session mini-series, on request. Pick the track that fits your child's age and interest.
Build it, code it, make it move. The most fun introduction to robotics — using LEGO Spike Essential and Spike Prime.
From animated stories to playable games — kids ship their first project and share it with friends.
The bridge from blocks to real code. Build chatbots, simple websites, and small games — all in real Python and HTML.
Sensors, circuits, and the friendly first taste of machine learning — kids train models and wire up real hardware.
Recent studies and reports on the long-term benefits of early coding and robotics.
USC research with kids aged 7–10 finds early robotics significantly shapes interest in computing careers and coding ability.
Read the study →A systematic review of 84 studies finds that early coding meaningfully improves sequencing, reasoning, and problem-solving foundations.
Read the review →Tech jobs are growing twice as fast as the rest of the workforce. Coding is becoming a foundational literacy — like reading or basic math.

My 6-year-old built a robot that follows light. She came home talking about "if-then" for a week. The mentors clearly love what they do — Sophie can't wait for Saturday.
We tried a single session as a "let's see if he likes it" experiment. He came home buzzing. We've since done four sessions and the small group means he actually gets attention. Hard to find at this price.
My daughter trained an image classifier to tell our two cats apart. She's 12. I'm a software engineer and I'm impressed. Worth every cent.
OpenCodeClub Kids is run as a non-profit. Sessions are scheduled on request — single sessions or a 2-session mini-series. Each session fits up to 12 kids.
One 90-minute hands-on session. Perfect first taste.
Two 90-minute sessions for a deeper dive. Great for hands-on programs.
We come to your school, library, or community centre.
