Code Ninjas Debuts in Acworth to Teach Kids Coding in a Fun Way

Say the words “video game” and your kids are bound to stop and listen. The local owners of a new Code Ninjas, a learning center that recently opened at 2538 Cedarcrest Rd., know that video games aren’t only fun, but educational. Code Ninjas will serve the local area by teaching children computer coding and problem-solving skills while having fun building video games.

To ensure the safety of all Ninjas, parents, and Senseis, Code Ninjas is taking extra precautions. The center will be thoroughly cleaned routinely, on a daily basis by employees. Devices, tables, door handles, bathrooms, and other frequently-used surfaces will be sanitized throughout the day. In addition, student workspaces and equipment, including computers, monitors, and mice will be cleaned between every student session. There will be an increased distance between individual student workstations in the dojo, as well as careful monitoring and enforcement of no-contact interactions.

The Acworth location is operated by Center Director Cody Nimmo. With a Masters in early childhood education and four years of teaching under his belt, Nimmo has always had a passion for teaching STEM education to kids. Nimmo is excited to team up with the local owners, who have worked for corporate America in the cybersecurity industry for over 20 years. Together, they’re looking forward to teaching local kids how to code and make a positive impact on future generations. This is their first location, with plans to expand in the future.

“We love the tech field and our mission is to build a fun environment that allows kids to continuously grow. Code Ninjas helps foster that growth,” said Nimmo. “Kids are able to learn valuable skills while staying engaged in the fun curriculum, which is why we’re excited to bring Code Ninjas to Acworth.”

Acworth children ages 7-14 can look forward to visiting the new Code Ninjas center to learn how to code in a fun, safe, and social learning environment where gaming is celebrated, and STEM is cool. Everything about Code Ninjas is built around fun, which keeps kids coming back. But the center also provides the results that parents are looking for, as their children gain coding and problem-solving skills they’ll need for the jobs of the future.

Code Ninjas accomplishes this with a robust, game-based curriculum made up of nine belts, just like martial arts. The curriculum is self-paced, but not self-taught; kids get immediate help and encouragement from Code Senseis and fellow students as they advance from white to black belt. The program keeps kids motivated with little wins along the way, and “Belt-Up” celebrations where they receive color-coded wristbands to mark their graduation to the next level. By the time a child finishes the program, they will publish an app in an app store.

Code Ninjas offers a variety of opportunities for children to get involved, including a flexible weeknight drop-in program, camps and Parents Night Out events on weekends.

Code Ninjas founder David Graham is a professional software developer who previously owned a successful chain of coding camps for adults. After numerous inquiries from parents, Graham realized there was an unmet demand to teach children coding skills. He launched the Code Ninjas brand in 2016.
