Our Story…
When he taught his daughter, Kate, to code in 2013, “Founder Dad” Eric Fredrickson was inspired to pioneer the Creative Coding Method and help over 10,000 kids discover the joys of computer coding. We now serve over 40+ public and private schools around Seattle with our after-school classes, and we offer summer camps, and run online live classes for kids worldwide
Creative Coders learn to plan, solve problems, and persist through difficult setbacks. With every course, kids level up their skills with the coaching of the best coding teachers in the industry who guide each student on their own personal journey to bring their ideas to life through the power of code!
Each time kids finish a class, they gain another “level” in our program and we help them tackle more complicated projects. We teach kids as young as 12 who have learned to code circles around your typical high school student because they’ve already created several of their own custom games and animations in Scratch. By giving students the freedom to make what they want to make and the emotional support they need to succeed, your child will learn what thousands of other Creative Coders have discovered: There’s nothing more empowering than seeing your own ideas come to life through coding!
Our Vision
Wider representation within the tech industry.
Our Mission
When diverse children study STEM subjects together, it means they’ll take that spirit onward as a benchmark for what’s “normal,” creating a positive shift in the workforce as they grow. We focus on making coding approachable and achievable for every student in order to build their confidence, passion for persistence, and technical skills so that they have the tools they need to change the face of our industry.
