Teachers - back to school coding and space sessions at your school!

A school can hire us to run a planetarium day and “reach for the stars”

They can learn to drive the planetarium using coding programmes and be a real space pilot.
Portable planetarium also used to provide 360 degree immersive view of the coded flight.

We teach kids to code while creating awesome video games, making friends, and having fun! And here's a fun fact: coding is key to space exploration!

From designing rockets and calculating trajectories to monitoring astronauts' health and letting them talk to their families from outer space, code makes it possible.

Let's make this school year stellar together - sign your kid up and watch them reach for the stars!

“”Our son is absolutely thriving at Code Ninjas. We are a homeschool family and so appreciative of your company so our son can get the coding education he wanted!””
