Our fun and interactive Coding Class for children teaches the basics of coding, problem-solving, and creative thinking! Students who are taking the class for the first time will be placed in the **beginner session**, while those who have previously taken a coding course at the Garfield YMCA will automatically qualify for the **advanced session**.

With supportive instructors and a positive learning environment, kids will gain confidence as they discover how technology works and how they can use it to create their own digital stories, animations, and more. Plus, coding helps strengthen critical thinking and teamwork—skills that go far beyond the computer screen.

Don’t miss this chance to introduce your child to the language of the future—sign up today and watch their imagination take off!
