Program Overview

The hardest, most valuable thing in programming is not syntax, it is looking at a problem you have never seen and finding your way to a solution. This live online course builds exactly that in a teenager, step by step and at a teen pace: logic and programming foundations first, conditionals, loops, functions, the core structures (arrays, strings, hash maps, stacks, queues, linked lists, recursion), then the real data structures and algorithms, trees, heaps, graphs, sorting and searching, algorithm-design paradigms, and finally dynamic programming and the problem-solving techniques that separate confident solvers from stuck ones. Every topic is taught through problems, not lectures, and the emphasis is always on the pattern, so a new problem is solvable, not a memorized answer. A finale month builds a problem-solving portfolio and sits a final exam.

The pace is honest and teen-friendly: ten teaching months at two live classes a week plus three to five hours of practice, with two more in hand. Problem sets after every class, monthly mixed reviews, phase exams, and a final exam that decides the certificate with a free retest.

What Makes This Program Different

  • Taught through problems, not lectures: teens solve from day one
  • Patterns over memorization: the skill is solving unseen problems
  • A real teen pace: depth without the burnout of an adult bootcamp
  • The foundation serious students build on: olympiads, contests and later interviews
  • An honest 10-month arc with 2 months in hand
  • Real assessment: weekly problem sets, monthly mixed reviews, phase exams and a final exam with a free retest

Before you decide

Straight answers about Problem Solving for Teens: Logic, Data Structures & Algorithms

Who should take this course?
Teenagers 13-18; no prior experience needed. Age: 13-18 (teenagers). It suits teenagers who like puzzles and want to think like a programmer; students aiming for coding olympiads and contests later; teens who have dabbled in coding and want real depth.
What will they learn and build?
The hardest, most valuable thing in programming is not syntax, it is looking at a problem you have never seen and finding your way to a solution.
How deeply are topics covered?
The course runs 10-12 months (44-52 weeks) at 2 live classes/week + 3-5 hours practice, across 4 phases listed week by week in the syllabus below. A structured, well-paced curriculum taught step by step, with classwork in every session and problem sets after every class.
Who teaches it?
Modern Age Coders mentors, who teach the live classes themselves. You can watch them at work in the free class recordings before you decide.
How do practice, feedback and assessment work?
Monthly mixed reviews, cumulative phase exams, and a final exam that decides the certificate: real knowledge, real work. Doubt support between classes over WhatsApp, so you are never left stuck. A certificate you earn by passing the final exam, with a free retest after revision if needed.
What does it cost?
Three monthly plans: a group batch, a mini batch and 1-on-1. Prices are shown in your currency in the plans section. Monthly billing, cancel any time.
When can classes take place?
Live classes are scheduled around your week. Group batches meet at a fixed weekly slot; 1-on-1 students choose their own. International students are scheduled in their own timezone. Ask on WhatsApp for the current slots.
Can I watch the teaching before deciding?
Yes. Full recordings of real 13 and up classes are free to watch, free with a 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.
Can I enroll without a live demo?
Yes. Choose a plan on this page and enroll directly; a booking or a demo is not required. A free live demo is optional, for anyone who wants to meet a mentor first. Outside India, our team confirms the plan and completes payment with you over WhatsApp, so allow a little time for that step.
