Why we offer the first session free

Honestly? Because it works. When a kid builds something real and shows it off, they get hooked on creating instead of just consuming — and parents see it for themselves. The free session is a real taste of our programs, where kids build coding skills over time in a place that actually feels fun.

What happens at your child’s first session

About an hour, start to finish.

1
Welcome & Tour
We greet your ninja, show them around the dojo, and get them comfortable. You get your questions answered in the lobby.
2
Build Their First Game
One-to-one with a Sensei, your child builds a real, playable video game — no experience needed.
3
The Big Demo
They walk out and show you the game they made themselves. It's usually the moment parents light up.
4
Enroll
Most families enroll right at the session. If it's a fit, we'll get your ninja started that same day — come ready, but no pressure.

Questions parents ask us

Does my child need any experience?
Nope — and it doesn't matter if they're a total beginner or already tinkering. It's one-to-one, so the Sensei meets your child right where they are: brand-new ninjas get guided step by step, and more experienced kids get pushed further.
How long is it, and what does it cost?
About 60 minutes, and the trial session is completely free. If you decide to enroll, we'll walk you through the options that day — no pressure.
What ages is this for?
Kids 5 to 14. Younger ninjas (5–7) start with beginner-friendly game creation and robotics; older kids (8–14) move into real coding — JavaScript, then C# in Unity.
What if my child is shy or has never coded?
That's exactly who this is for. The one-to-one format lets the Sensei meet your child where they are — a lot of quieter kids surprise their parents in the first session.
