From parents in Rocklin

What changed for their child:

We tried everything

"We tried sports, clubs, music lessons. Nothing stuck. This is the first thing he looks forward to every week."

Rocklin Parent

Screen time guilt, gone

"I was worried about more screen time. Then he started explaining the code to me. That changed everything."

Rocklin Parent

Found his people

"My kid found friends who actually share his interests. He talks about them at dinner like teammates."

Rocklin Parent

Confidence shift

"He loves it more than anything he's ever done. The confidence change is the biggest thing. He explains what he built."

What your kid's summer looks like

10 weeks. Here's the arc.

WEEK 1

First class is free

Your kid walks in nervous. Meets their team and instructor. Walks out wanting to come back. That is the whole goal of week 1.

WEEKS 2-3

First real project

They pick a track (coding, game dev, or engineering) and start building something they own. By week 3 you'll hear them talk about it at dinner.

WEEKS 4-6

Found their people

Friendships form. Evening social events kick in. Tournaments, build nights, arcade night. You start hearing your kid's classmates' names.

WEEKS 7-9

It works

The game runs. The robot moves. The website goes live. That's the shift parents talk about — when their kid stops asking for help and starts asking for materials.

WEEK 10

Showcase

Your kid demos what they built. To you. To other parents. To their team. Then they ask if they can keep going in the fall. Most do.

The one thing a coding app cannot do

Sign up with a friend. Same team, same time.

A coding app puts your kid in a bedroom by themselves. We put them at a table next to their best friend, building the same project, hitting the same milestones. The whole summer just got better for both of you.

Not alone in a bedroom

Kids who love video games finally find their people.

Video games are usually something kids play alone, or online with strangers. At Hackingtons, they build them in person, next to other kids who are just as into it. Same classroom every week, with kids who get why it's worth an hour arguing about the best boss fight.

Same kids, weekly
Real classmates they see every class, not a rotating cast of strangers.
Shared projects
Building and troubleshooting together turns classmates into teammates.
Events all year
Arcade Night, showcases, and the Hackingtons500 keep it going outside class.
