Why parents pick Codeyoung’s Coding Mini Course

Live 1:1, never group

Just your kid and one mentor who understands your kid's pace

Built for the AI era

Every mini course is AI-first. Your kid learns the tools that actually matter in 2026 - Scratch AI, Teachable Machine, Bolt.new, n8n.

Mentors from the top 1%

We hire under 1% of mentor applicants - and the one matched with your kid stays the same for all 8 sessions.

A real project, every time

Every mini course ends with a working project your kid built - a game, an app, an automation - plus a live showcase to demo it.

Quick answers

A handpicked mentor teaches your kid alone. Pace, examples, and challenge level adapt to your kid - not the slowest or fastest student in a 10-kid Zoom.

We accept fewer than 1 in 100 mentor applicants. Every one passes a coding test, a teaching demo, and a kid-friendliness round before they're hired. The mentor matched with your kid stays the same for all 8 sessions - so by session 3, they already know how your kid thinks.

A laptop or desktop with a working camera and mic, a stable internet connection, and Chrome (recommended). That's it. We'll send the meeting link and any tool logins before session 1.

Class 1 is your trial. If it's not clicking, tell us before class 2 starts and we'll refund the 7 unused classes. From class 2 onwards, refunds aren't available — by then your mentor has blocked their calendar for all 8 sessions, and the seat is closed to other parents who were on the waitlist.

Two things. First, every session is live 1-on-1 - there's nowhere to zone out. Second, every course is project-based. Your kid isn't watching slides; they're building something they'll actually want to show you afterward.

We run mini courses for families in the US, Canada, UK, and Australia. Once you book, we'll find time slots that fit your family's schedule - including evenings and weekends.

Yes. Every kid who finishes a course gets a Codeyoung completion certificate.
