Who are we?

Code Ninjas is a local family-owned business that teaches kids ages 5-14 to explore the world of code in a fun, safe, and inspiring environment where gaming is celebrated and STEM is cool. Our robust, game-based curriculum is built to keep our Ninjas engaged, challenged, and learning! Code Ninjas offers a variety of events and programs to make coding fun for every child. Our engaging programs, CREATE and CREATE JR, ignite creativity and critical thinking through hands-on coding, utilizing platforms like Microsoft Make Code, Scratch JR, and Code Spark. Summer Camps provide an immersive tech experience with Spike Lego Robotics, 3D Printing, Minecraft, and Roblox. Our vision is a world where kids write the code.

We are looking for a Code Sensei to join our team, working toward our common goal: providing a fun and safe learning environment for children.
