Coding Classes for kids aged 4 - 16
About 9jacodekids
9jacodekids Academy is Nigeria’s leading STEM education institute providing coding and Artificial Intelligence programs for kids aged 6 to 16 years old. Our classes include weekend coding courses, holiday coding camps and STEM workshops
Since 2016 our team has taught over 8000+ students within and outside Nigeria to develop core coding skills in Web Design, Mobile App design, Game design, Robotics, and Artificial Intelligence
Our Approach
We believe that it is not enough to learn how to code. Our students should be able to use their coding skills to innovate and create value. Our model is anchored on a three pronged approach of Technology, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship
Technology
Our first step is giving kids the tech skills required to be up to date in a fast changing world
Innovation
We instill in our students the ability to harness their skills and use them to solve societal problems
Entrepreneurship
We train them to develop the entrepreneurial skill-set and mindset that will enable them launch their innovation into profitable business
Our Classroom in action
Our classrooms are fun, exciting, engaging, and messy all in one and we love them that way. Our main focus is practice rather than theory. We want our students to come with a maker’s mindset, a sense of curiosity and a willingness to leave their comfort zone, try out new things, and create
Our Students on BBC Africa
Our students Fathia Abdullahi and Tobiloba Owolola were featured on BBC Africa for building robots that solved problems for them. Fathia built a robot that folds T-shirts while Tobi built a robot that senses objects and removes them
What Parents Are Saying
Our Core Programs
9jacodekids Academy offers various programs that will help your child develop their vision; and more importantly the substance for achieving it.
Coding
Coding is at the core of what we do. The ability to give instructions to computers and robots teaches your kids to not just solve problems but to also foresee them.
Robotics
We enable kids with the concepts of how robots and similar machineries work. This gives them an edge over their peers in a world becoming ever reliant on machines.
Artificial Intelligence
We teach kids to design intelligent computer programs. This ability puts your child at the top of the demand hierarchy, globally.
why 9jacodekids
design thinking approach
We believe that the main aim of learning to code is to solve problems, so we take our students through the five-step design thinking process – Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype and Test – which is a human-centred approach to innovation and problem-solving made popular by Stanford University’s Design School.
project-based learning
Our lessons connect what our students learn to real-world scenarios. Students learn with the same approach they will eventually use in their hobbies, passions, and careers. This ingrains essential problem-solving techniques within them early on, drastically increasing their chances of success in whatever career they choose once their education has completed.
Experienced, and friendly instructors
All our instructors are STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) graduates who are passionate about what they do. Our work culture ensures that we attract fun-loving, down-to-earth instructors who work to make learning fun, inspiring, and productive for our students
