Coding skill sets are fast changing how we live and interact today, that’s why at Imagine STEM Academy we are geared towards helping kids during the Easter break to learn a new skill. There are a number of coding paths kids can pick from based on their interest  and level of mastery.

All our instructors are always glad and open to help a learner who seems stuck, because this is the first sign that the child is making progress and desires to improve and scale what they have been taught.
