Coding Without Boundaries
We provide a rich and engaging environment that inspires children and teens to innovate, think critically, and create with technologies on the fringe of our hi-tech culture. Our teachers encourage students to expand their limitless creativity through the creation of video games, apps, and traditional software using the same tools used by professionals in the field.
My child has no prior coding experience, which level should they take?
In most cases, students start in the class most appropriate for their age. However some students may show exceptional prowess in technology and would be moved to the level most appropriate for their skill level.
What is the general overview of the curriculum?
The RDS Coding curriculum is intended for children to have fun while learning programming languages and concepts. Each level is designed to progressively introduce complex engineering concepts through the medium of games.
