Find the One That Clicks for Your Kid.
Your child starts with whatever they're already into, then keeps going as far as they want. Open any class to see what they actually build.
The game they already play, except now they build it.
Code real mods inside a world they already love, using true programming fundamentals.
More about this class▾
Minecraft coding classes for kids use the world your kid is already obsessed with. We turn hours of "just playing" into real programming: custom mods, mini-games, tools they design from scratch. The kid who wouldn't sit still for a math worksheet will spend an hour debugging their own block-placement script. That's the trick.
- Custom mods that add new blocks & items
- Mini-games friends can play
- Automated farms & redstone contraptions
- Their own Minecraft world from scratch
Make the game. Don't just play it.
Design and publish a real Roblox game their friends can actually play.
More about this class▾
Roblox coding classes teach kids real Lua scripting, the actual programming language professional Roblox developers use. Our Roblox game design class starts with designing a level, then writing the code that makes it run. By the end, their friends can search Roblox by name and play what your kid built.
- Obbies (obstacle courses) friends can play
- Roleplay worlds with their own rules
- Tycoon games with scripted economies
- Battle arenas with custom mechanics
Code that moves in the real world.
Kids design, build and program real robots, then take a creation home.
More about this class▾
The most hands-on thing we do. Kids assemble a working robot, then write the code that drives it, so the link between a line of code and a thing moving on the table is immediate and obvious.
- Motorised builds they design themselves
- Sensor-driven behaviour and obstacle courses
- Non-competition Lego League team
- Debugging real hardware, not a simulation
From drag-and-drop to real Python and Java.
A real progression: Scratch at 6, Python and Java from around 10.
More about this class▾
Our coding classes are built around a genuine progression. Scratch starts at age 6 with visual drag-and-drop blocks; Python and Java kick in around age 10. Older students build portfolio-worthy projects for high school applications.
- Scratch animations & story games (ages 6–9)
- Python adventure games with logic & functions
- Java apps & algorithms for teens
- Portfolio projects for high school applications
Their first line of code, before they can type one.
Colourful visual blocks that make coding click right away.
More about this class▾
For our youngest students. No reading-heavy syntax, no typing barrier: kids snap colourful blocks together and immediately see a character move, so the logic lands before the vocabulary does.
- Animated stories they invent
- Simple games with rules they set
- First steps in sequencing and loops
- Confidence before syntax
The skill set school hasn't caught up to yet.
How AI actually works, how to build with it, and how to question it.
More about this class▾
AI is already in your kid's life. The question isn't whether they'll use it, it's whether they'll understand it. Students learn how large language models work, how to build with them responsibly, and how to think critically about what they generate.
- Their own AI-powered chatbot
- Image generators they prompt & refine
- Coded projects using AI as a collaborator
- Critical thinking about what AI gets wrong
Where Technology Builds More Than Coding Skills.
Learning technology is about much more than writing code. It's the medium through which kids develop the habits and mindsets they'll carry into the school year and well past it.
Our programs are designed to help students grow in the following areas:
Book a Free Trial Class →Creative Problem-Solving & Innovation
Team Communication
Critical Reasoning
A Resilient Mindset
Confident Leadership
Lifelong Curiosity
Our Lego League Team Is Forming Now.
Our non-competition Lego League team forms in the fall, and places are being reserved now. Teams run with a minimum of four children, so reserving early is what gets it off the ground.
Kids design, build, and program real robots together: the most hands-on thing we do, and the fastest way to turn a curious kid into a confident one. If the team doesn't reach four, we'll offer your child a coding class instead and you decide from there.

A Note From Shipra
My name is Shipra Srivastava and I am the owner of Code Wiz Rutherford, NJ. Code Wiz allows us to contribute to children's lives and help shape them, allowing them to reach a better future.
I am a Global QA Engineering Manager for a Financial Tech Company, with over 18 years of experience managing teams and delivering high-quality, bug-free experiences to customers. New skills and technology shape our world daily, and learning to learn is an amazing lifelong skill.
Being a mom, I sometimes found it difficult to keep my child engaged. I enrolled my daughter in various art and coding classes, but she would always quickly lose interest. She is very creative and a natural at understanding games, and she lost interest when she had to follow the rules and examples those programs set. We typically dropped out after a month or two.
That is where Code Wiz comes in. It's unique in that children are free to explore their interests, learn at their own speed, and really engage with topics. That keeps kids engaged, helps them retain more, and helps them have fun.
