Perfect for kids who have already “caught the coding bug”

Many Rocklin families come to us when their child has outgrown (beginner) after-school clubs and tutorials. We’re a great fit if your child is ready for a structured, long-term program that builds real-world skills and confidence.

Programs & Curriculum

We meet students where they are. Kids who are brand new to coding get a strong foundation. Kids who already know the basics move quickly into game engines, scripting, and projects they’re proud to show you at home.

Game Development Hardware

Electronics, sensors, and C++ for interactive projects. Great for kids who love building controllers, scoreboards, and physical game add-ons.

Core Programming

Python + JavaScript — the same languages used by professional developers. Students learn to think logically, debug, and bring their own ideas to life.

Learn more →

Game Development

Unity3D + C#. Students build multi-level games with menus, enemies, and scoring systems — moving beyond drag-and-drop into true game engineering.

Learn more →

CAD & 3D Design

Computer-aided design and manufacturing. Kids design 3D models that can be printed or used in games, building spatial reasoning and creativity.

How we turn “screen time” into future-ready skills

Our Rocklin program is built for parents who want more than just a camp or one-off workshop. We provide a long-term, structured path where kids build a portfolio, grow in confidence, and learn to stick with challenging projects.

Project-based learning

Every week your child adds features, fixes bugs, and ships real games or apps.

Belt ranking system

White → Black belt milestones make progress visible for both kids and parents.

Mentor teachers

Experienced instructors coach students through roadblocks, not just lectures.

Events & community

Hackathons, competitions, and showcases keep kids motivated and proud of their work.

About our Rocklin program

Hackingtons is an after-school academy for kids ages 8–16 who want to do more than just play games. We help them build games, apps, and interactive projects using the same tools professionals use — but in a kid-friendly, supportive environment.

Many of our Rocklin families join when their child is around 10–13 and has already tried Scratch, Roblox Studio, or basic coding websites. We meet each student at their level and guide them into Unity, C#, Python, JavaScript, CAD, and robotics at a pace that keeps them challenged but not overwhelmed.

Tuition is $140/month. Classes meet once per week for 70 minutes (after-school or on Saturdays). Families can start with a free trial class to make sure it’s the right fit.

Pro Game Developer Team (2025)

Our most advanced students can audition for the Pro Game Dev Team — a small group that works together like an indie studio. It’s a powerful long-term goal for motivated kids who fall in love with coding and game design.

What a typical class looks like

Each class has three parts: a quick check-in, focused build time (coding, game development, or robotics), and a short showcase where students share what they’ve created. Over time, your child will build a portfolio of projects you can actually see.

Watch this week's “Best of Hackingtons” showcase.
