Today we'll explore some of the best fun online kids coding clubs! From computer science, to other STEM such as science, and digital art, your child can join live online clubs to practice new projects every week with a small group of peers guided by an expert instructor.
Discover fun online kids coding clubs
Coding clubs are a great way for students to nurture their passion, reinforce their new knowledge and skills, and meet new friends. Each club has new, exciting project themes every month, which are revealed before the month begins! Here are some of the best options for kids starting as young as kindergarten, up through middle school.
1. Game Building Club
Build a new fun Scratch project every week! After your child completes the first 2 units of Scratch Ninja (Grades 2-5) or Accelerated Scratch (Grades 5-9), put the Scratch coding skills they've learned to use by creating new and challenging projects every week. Students will review and master key concepts such as lists, variables, messages, and cloning. Join along in our live video club series as an expert guides students through a different project - such as Riddle in the Forest, Animation with AI Music, and more - from start to finish in a 50-minute session each week. Choose from 4, 8, or 12 sessions.
- Grades: 2-6
- Type: Live online
- Length: 55 minute session

2. Pokemon Game Building Club
Join us for a Pokémon adventure, and build your own unique interactive Pokémon games. In this fun live virtual club, students are guided by an expert teacher to complete four special projects using Scratch coding. Find out how to create, catch, care for, and play games with the Pokémon of your choice. Along the way, students will review and master key coding concepts that are foundational to future game building, such as lists, variables, messages, and cloning. They'll even learn how to use their computer's video camera to interact with their characters so they can control them with hand gestures - a powerful feature that opens up brand new capabilities for building games in Scratch.

Learn a wide range of topics related to space science, NASA, and practice other STEM skills in this weekly club! All these live online classes are project based to encourage curiosity and develop problem solving skills. In each session, we will learn cool new things about space and science, then build small projects and play games sometimes to make it fun and strengthen the learning. Choose from 4 or 8 sessions. Some example projects include space suits (play games to study the current and future space suits for astronauts and design a part of the suit by yourself!), the international space station, and the moon.

Students will enjoy creating a fun art project every session, and learn to appreciate great design in their daily lives, while exploring many different types of art mediums. Example projects include patterns for beautiful mandalas, making a stop motion movie, and creating your own Minecraft character skins. In each of these hands-on activities, we guide students to observe and understand the artist elements in life such as patterns and symmetry, explore emotions and feelings, and learn about art basics such as color palettes. Choose from 4 or 8 sessions.

Bonus. Roblox Game Coding Club
This Roblox coding club is designed for students who have completed our Roblox Studio Coding Class and Beginner Roblox Coding Class, and want to reinforce their knowledge and build more complex games in Roblox. Students can start from any project in this club, and will spend 75 minutes every week for 3 weeks to complete each project. When you choose the Crazy Farm Game project, you'll start by making different trees, growing and picking fruits from each of them, and opening a shop to sell fruits to the shopkeeper. Then you'll move on to build more complex scenarios such as getting paid, tracking fruits, and handling ripen fruits. In the end, you will duplicate your trees to build an orchard, make the characters speak, and add background music to make it a complete Roblox game!
- Grades: 5-12
- Type: Live online
- Length: 75 minute session
