Coding for Kids: Scratch to Games, Apps and AI

More than 40 real projects across ten months: animations and complete games in Scratch, arcade games in MakeCode, micro:bit inventions, a real mobile app built in MIT App Inventor and installed on a family phone, coding projects inside Minecraft Education, a Roblox world with first Lua scripts, AI models they train themselves, and finally their first typed Python programs and a hand-written web page. Every project is the child’s own work, reviewed by the teacher.

The course runs from age 6 to 12, and batches are grouped by age: 6 to 8 year olds start gently and stay in visual tools longer, while 9 to 12 year olds move faster and reach Roblox scripting and Python sooner. Only comfortable reading is needed, no typing skill and no prior coding.

The journey from zero to the final capstone takes most children 10 months at 2 live classes a week. The syllabus deliberately keeps 2 months of margin in hand: younger children or busy school terms stretch the same journey to 12 months with no rushing and no penalty. Real progress shows immediately, a child has a working animation in the very first class.

No. There is classwork in every session, a small homework build after every class, and a monthly challenge that mixes new questions with earlier topics so skills stay sharp instead of fading. Each phase ends with a cumulative check, and the course ends with a final exam: a capstone demo plus a friendly viva and a mixed quiz. Passing earns the certificate; a child who falls short gets focused revision and a free retest. It is all gentle, and all real: we optimize for real knowledge, not a stream of feel-good badges.

It is the opposite kind of screen time. Instead of consuming videos and games, children spend the hours making them: designing, building, testing and fixing their own projects. Parents consistently report the shift, the child starts asking how things work instead of just asking for the tablet. Safe digital habits are taught explicitly alongside.

Hands-on and kid-safe. Children train their own image and sound models using Machine Learning for Kids and Google’s Teachable Machine, both built for classrooms, then use those models inside their own games, a pet that reacts to sounds, a game controlled by gestures. There are no open chatbots in the kids’ course; the point is understanding how AI learns, including how it gets things wrong.

The core platforms, Scratch, Code.org, MakeCode, MIT App Inventor, Tinkercad and Teachable Machine, are free and browser-based. Minecraft Education and Roblox Studio are free to build in, with accounts set up together with a parent. A computer or laptop with internet is enough; no hardware kits are required, the micro:bit is taught in its full browser simulator.

The final phase builds the bridge on purpose: children finish having already written first Python programs and a first web page. From there they step naturally into our Python for Kids, Roblox Game Coding, Minecraft Coding or Web Development for Kids courses, choosing the direction that pulled them hardest during the journey.

₹1,499 per month for group classes, which include 2 live classes a week in batches of no more than 10 kids. Smaller mini batches of 3-4 students are ₹2,999 per month, and dedicated 1-on-1 classes are ₹4,999 per month. For students outside India, prices are set per country and shown on this page in the local currency.

Yes. You can book a free demo at learn.modernagecoders.com/contact with zero commitment, and many parents sit in on the demo to see the teaching style for themselves. We hold a 4.9 rating across 547 Google reviews, and the demo class is where most of those families started.

Every session is a live 1-hour online class taught by a real teacher; we never substitute pre-recorded videos. Groups stay small and interactive, so children build along during class rather than just watching, and the teacher sees and fixes small confusions before they grow.

Yes. Full recordings of real, unedited classes for ages 6 to 12 are free to watch: Free to watch. No payment, no card, just a quick Google sign-in. These recordings show how we teach, not the exact syllabus of this course. Some classes are in English and some in Hindi; everyone follows at their own pace. Watch a class end to end, like you are in it. Sessions are interactive and each moment builds on the last.

Yes. Choose a plan on this page and enroll directly. A free live demo is optional: book one if you would like to meet a mentor before deciding. Outside India, our team confirms the plan and completes payment with you over WhatsApp, so allow a little time for that step.
