Who is it for?

Made for kids who already have the bug.

While we welcome students ages 10+, Hackingtons Online is best suited for kids who already have some coding experience and are hungry to go further. Think: the kid who's already tinkered with Scratch, built something in Roblox Studio, or just can't stop asking "how does this work?"

Our sweet spot is ages 11–13 — old enough to tackle real projects, young enough to still be forming their identity around building things. That said, motivated younger kids and advanced teens thrive here too.

Not sure if your child is ready? The free trial class is a great way to find out — we'll tell you honestly after the first session.

✅
Great fit

Kids with some coding experience who want real challenges — not another "intro to Python" course.

✅
Sweet spot: ages 11–13

Kids around ages 11–13 who are self-motivated and enjoy problem-solving on their own terms.

🤔
Might be better starting in-person

Younger beginners with zero experience often do better starting at a local in-person location first.

Why kids actually stay

Most coding programs lose kids in the first month. Here's what makes ours different.

Same crew each week

Kids form real friendships — not just classmates

They ship real work

Every session ends with something built — not just watched

Mentors, not lecturers

Instructors push kids further — and know when to back off

Progress is visible

Weekly showcases mean kids leave proud — every single time

What a session looks like

Every session has a rhythm: quick check-in → focused build time → mini-showcase. Kids leave with something working every single week.

They debug real problems, ship real projects, and present their work to peers. Over time that becomes identity: "I'm someone who builds things."

$140/month. One 70-minute live session per week. Cancel anytime with 2 weeks' notice.

BELONGING

New kids aren't "the new kid" for long

Sessions are welcoming by design: quick intros, partner builds, and weekly sharing that makes conversation easy.

MOMENTUM

Progress is visible every week

Kids leave with something that works: a game mechanic, a working feature, a prototype. Every project ends up in the showcase.

PRIDE

Showcase builds confidence

Students learn to explain what they built—and get celebrated for effort, not just "being smart."

Kids feel at home here

"Hackingtons brings people together over coding with funny and inspirational teachers..."

— Celia, 11

"I've attended many coding programs, but only Hackingtons focused on building practical applications for the real world."

— Yaroslav, 15

What parents tell us:

  • "My kid finally found friends who like the same things."
  • "He built a working game and showed his grandparents on Zoom."
  • "They talk about their projects at dinner."
  • "Confidence is the biggest change—he actually presents now."

Yes, they actually ship

  • Students published a real game on Steam
  • Annual Hackingtons500 competition with 100+ participants
  • Every student project lives in the showcase — games, apps, and tools made by kids
