GENERAL 1010 CODING
At 1010 Coding, we understand there are a myriad of learning methods for every student and thus figure out each person’s unique style of learning and adapt to it. It’s really simple!
Further, our curriculum is designed by reputed international educators and our classes are taught by carefully vetted teachers from the USA and UK.
We also keep our student-to-teacher ratio low with at most 4 students per class.
We are aware of the requirements of the future jobs and have developed our courses accordingly. The knowledge gained from 1010 Coding would also help them excel with school work as they learn analytical, mathematical, science, art and teamwork skills. Upon completion of our courses, the students will be equipped with the most on-job skills and ready to tackle the world head-on.
Yes, each student will receive a certificate upon satisfactory completion of the course.
You can track your child’s progress by logging into your child’s account. You may also reach out to the teacher directly, via email, to discuss any concern.
Most of our teachers are based in the USA. They have extensive academic experience and are ready to break down the complex concepts into digestible chunks for your child.
1010 Coding adopts a project-based teaching style. We don’t believe in the old school lecture style of teaching. We believe in making learning fun. Our kids learn the concepts through weekly mini-projects and then apply everything they learned towards a final project. This way they have something tangible in their portfolio and they love what they learn.
We currently offer only need based scholarships to the underserved and underprivileged students. You can read more on our blog article posted on 1010coding.com/blog/
Nevertheless, if you think you deserve a scholarship, send us an email at admin@1010coding.com
We offer everything on one single platform, so your child doesn’t need to browse the insecure world of the internet. All our classes are held through our own secure platform. Additionally, all our teachers go through a careful vetting process and background checks. Our website complies with all the necessary security features for kids as per the US laws and regulations. We would be glad to share our security certificate with you, just send us an email at admin@1010coding.com
Your child can start coding as early as 7 years old. Our highly qualified teachers break the complex concepts into small digestible chunks for your child.
Yes! Everyone can code. We are set on a mission to remove the myth that coding is tough. Our students learn how to interact with machines through our project based curriculum.
Our project-based curriculum already takes care of that. Don’t tell your child that they are going to attend classes. Tell them that they are going to learn how to develop their own game, how to make an animated movie, or how to make their favorite cartoon character talk to them and much more.
Not necessarily. You don’t need to be good at math to join any of our courses. All the required material will be covered in the class.
