Series 1 (Beta Series)
Discovering Code and Calm
Beginner / Ages 7 - 10
Sign UpThe Beta Series is our first round of programming, where we're piloting our Series 1 curriculum before our full launch. As an early participant, your child will get access to the program at a discounted rate in exchange for providing valuable feedback that helps us shape the best possible experience. Spots are limited.
In this foundational course, young coders explore essential programming concepts like variables, if-statements and loops through a unique lens that connects technology with self-awareness. Using Scratch's visual programming platform, students build their technical skills while developing mindful practices. Together, these complementary approaches help children discover how coding and mindfulness work together as extraordinary powers that enhance both digital creativity and inner strength.
