History
CodaKid was founded in October 2014 with the mission of providing engaging computer programming classes to elementary and middle school students. Our founder David Dodge is a veteran video game developer, game designer, and software architect having worked for nearly a decade at Sega of America, Cyclone Studios, and 3DO in Silicon Valley. In addition, he founded SurePrep Learning, an Inc 500/5000 tutoring company based in Scottsdale in 2005, as well as Tutorware, a business management software for tutoring and test prep companies throughout the US, Canada, and the United Kingdom. CodaKid believes that computer programming is a new and essential form of literacy, and that children can become active creators of technology rather than just passive users. Kids love CodaKid because they learn coding principles in a fun, dynamic environment, and parents love it because their children develop a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and critical thinking skills.
