Everything you need to help your child succeed at Hackingtons.
We want your child to gain professional-level coding skills and the confidence to take on any challenge the tech world brings.
Along the way, they’ll build a real portfolio—and, yes, fill a shelf with awards they’ve earned here.
Before your child’s first visit, you’ll receive a username/password for our curriculum at hackingtons.io. If you have trouble logging in, email [email protected] or call (888) 919-4225.
Tip: Encourage your child to log in and explore a bit before class. Early familiarity boosts confidence.
The trial takes place during a regular 70-minute class (teacher:student ~ 1:6). Your child will choose one of the following:
At the end, they’ll showcase their project to the class—celebrating progress from day one.
Each programming track has a complete white → black belt progression. Students can focus on one language or pursue multiple tracks in parallel.
Advanced students unlock deeper paths in Unity, JavaScript, and Game Design.
The Showcase is an ongoing record of progress. Projects can be marked public or private.
View your child’s Showcase (no login needed):

Replace USERNAME with your child’s actual username.
Every student has a public portfolio to highlight their best work. Initially it’s empty—students customize it as they progress.

Our curriculum and help system are available 24/7. We encourage practice between classes.
Important: Hackingtons.io and Scratch use separate accounts.
Students can message teachers through our built-in help desk. We typically respond between 3:00–7:00pm most days.
Don’t forget Step 2!
Inside the Scratch editor, click the Share button (orange). It only appears when your child is logged in to Scratch.
Teachers can’t see your game unless you submit the link to the Showcase or the “Ask for Help” section in hackingtons.io.
Open the Showcase in hackingtons.io and choose the relevant category (HTML, JavaScript, Python), then paste your project link.
All students—at any experience level—are invited to compete for trophies in our monthly coding competitions. Themes and languages rotate.
Many competitions are online; others are in person (for example, the Hackingtons 500).
We award ~10 trophies each month and design events so everyone has a chance to win (our startup competition focuses more on creativity than prior coding skill).
