From parents in Rocklin
We tried everything
"We tried sports, clubs, music lessons. Nothing stuck. This is the first thing he looks forward to every week."
Hackingtons parent
Screen time guilt, gone
"I was worried about more screen time. Then he started explaining the code to me. That changed everything."
Hackingtons parent
Found his people
"My kid found friends who actually share his interests. He talks about them at dinner like teammates."
Hackingtons 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
Your kid walks in nervous. Meets their team and instructor. Walks out wanting to come back. That is the whole goal of week 1.
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.
Friendships form. Evening social events kick in. Tournaments, build nights, arcade night. You start hearing your kid's classmates' names.
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.
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
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.

Hackingtons brings people together over coding with funny and inspirational teachers. I found my people here.
I've attended many coding programs, but only Hackingtons focused on building practical things for the real world.
