Here's what makes the Code Ninjas Explore Program special:
One hour per week with Maximum 1:5 Ratio/Session.
Interactive learning through hands on projects.
New activities each week exploring all STEM topics such as machines, robotics, environmental science, space and more!
Practice problem solving through unique challenges and improve critical thinking.
Collaborate and team up with other ninjas to complete projects.
Safe and supportive environment led by qualified instructors.
