Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are important subjects for children to study because they help develop skills that kids need to become successful in their future careers. At Coco Coders, we’re focused on using STEM education to get kids #FutureReady by teaching core skills such as creativity, communication, and collaboration, through our award-winning coding curriculum.

At Coco Coders, we offer 60 minute interactive coding classes for kids. Each class is set up to challenge students and develop their abilities while encouraging creativity and collaboration. But how can they continue to practice coding between classes? If coding is their passion or they just enjoy doing it as a hobby, we have compiled a list of fun ways to practice coding between classes.
