Code Ninjas

Code Ninjas is an educational company founded in 2016 in Pearland, Texas, that focuses on teaching coding to children aged 7 to 14. It is recognized as the world's largest and fastest-growing kids coding franchise, with over 400 locations in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The company aims to make coding enjoyable while fostering collaboration and creative problem-solving skills among young learners.

The learning experience at Code Ninjas is gamified and structured around a proprietary curriculum that features a belt system inspired by martial arts. Students progress from white belt to black belt, learning various programming languages and concepts at each level. The curriculum includes fundamentals of computer science and allows students to create their own video games as they develop coding skills. The latest curriculum, launched in 2023, incorporates Microsoft MakeCode Arcade for both block-based and text-based coding.

Code Ninjas also provides support to its franchise network with marketing resources and curriculum materials, ensuring brand consistency across its locations. The centers, known as "dojos," are designed to create a welcoming environment for students and parents alike.
