Karate-Themed Kids Coding Center Opens in Ladera Ranch

Say the words “video game” and your kids are bound to stop and listen. The local owner of a new Code Ninjas, a learning center that debuted this August at 25652 Crown Valley Pkwy., Ste F-1, knows 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 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 Ladera Ranch location is owned and operated by Jui Liang, a longtime engineer and technology designer. She wanted to give children in the community the opportunity experience STEM education outside the traditional classroom. Bringing her technology and business management skills combined with her passion for education, Liang hopes to create an educational space that keeps up with the rapid changes in technology.

“After so many years in the technology field, I know how important the language of coding is,” said Liang. “I want to provide the Ladera Ranch community with the opportunity to learn the new language and explore their STEM curiosities in an environment that fosters problem solving and collaboration.”

Ladera Ranch 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.
