Our video tutorials are pre-recorded and designed for self-paced learning. They can be accessed anytime – on your schedule. Students will watch engaging video lessons and our qualified coding coaches will instruct students when to pause the videos, code and develop their projects, and then test their work.

Depending on the topic, videos range from 5 minutes to 45 minutes in length. To complete each course will take longer than the actual video time as kids are required to pause the videos, code, design, and then test their work.
