Coding Mastery
Skill Samurai offers multiple pathways. Our Way of the Hero offers a clear progression based on each coder’s age, experience, and interests. Our goal is mastery of coding skills.
Students can switch between pathways when they complete a course, e.g moving from Minecraft modding to Python.
Each pathway offers one or more courses at each of the three levels - Beginner, Intermediate & Advanced.
With each level, students gain proficiency in more advanced programming concepts and learn how to design and build more complex projects. Levels are taught in age and experience-appropriate development environments, from Scratch to professional languages, such as Python or Java.
In every class, your child will practice their coding ability, along with various STEM activities and games that enhance their knowledge in a fun and rewarding way. If you’re an advocate for your child to become a builder of the future, this is the best program to enroll them in.
The Way of the Hero is only available through our monthly memberships.
