Coding classes for kids 8–16. AI tools at 13. Real code, real projects, and the part AI can't do for them: working with people.
What we teach
You'll see kids:
Different projects, same room.
Less like a class. More like a startup.
"He loves it more than anything he's ever done."
"I've attended many coding programs, but only Hackingtons focused on building practical applications for the real world."
"Hackingtons brings people together over coding with funny and inspirational teachers."
Our approach to AI
Under 13, kids at Hackingtons write their own code. No AI agents, no app builders. They learn real computer science and engineering by making things and understanding why they work. Advanced students can put AI inside their projects, but they wire it up with their own code.
At 13, with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Python under their belt, they're ready for professional AI tools. We recommend starting with GitHub Copilot, which GitHub allows from age 13.
Our mission is to give kids a place to learn, experiment, and make friends. We want them fearless about the future, because they'll be the ones making it.

Everyone is trying to predict the future. We'd rather teach kids how to build it.
