Beginner-Friendly Coding for Kids
Your Child Builds a Real Game on Their First Visit
Come in for a free session at Code Ninjas® Burnaby South. Your child sits with a Code Sensei and starts coding — no experience needed.
Why Choose Code Ninjas® Burnaby South?
Whether you want your child to build confidence, think more logically, or just spend screen time on something that actually builds a skill, you'll find it at our dojo. We offer JR for ages 5–7, CREATE for ages 8–14, and CAMPS during school breaks. Beginners start with block-based coding and no experience at all, while ninjas who are further along move into JavaScript, Lua, and C# with Unity.
🥷 Life Skills, Not Just Code — Our ninjas build patience, focus, and the confidence to keep going when something breaks. Coding is how we teach it.
🥷 Self-Paced Mentorship — Every ninja moves at their own speed with a Code Sensei right beside them. No lectures, no falling behind, no waiting on the rest of the class.
🥷 Open to Every Ninja — Our programs work for kids of any age, gender, or experience level. Everyone starts at white belt.
The best part is that your child won't feel like they're in a lesson. They're building a real game, and the coding comes along with it. Parents tell us their ninja asks to come back.
Watching them light up when their game finally works is just a bonus.

Our Martial Arts School Programs
JR — Ages 5 to 7
Our youngest ninjas start with block-based coding and hands-on STEM building. No reading required. They learn sequencing, cause and effect, and how to keep going when something doesn't work the first time — the same thinking that makes math and reading click later on.
CREATE — Ages 8 to 14
Ninjas build real games while they learn real code. They move through our belt system, from white to black, starting with block coding and progressing to JavaScript, Lua, and C# with Unity. They work at their own pace with a Code Sensei beside them, and they take home something they built.
CAMPS — Ages 5 to 14
School break camps run full days and cover more than 20 tech and STEM experiences — game design, robotics, AI, and more. Camps are a great first step for families who want to try Code Ninjas® before committing to a membership.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers about our martial arts programs
Q1: What should I expect from a free session?
Your child sits down with a Code Sensei and starts building a real game in their first hour. No lecture, no worksheets. You'll get a short tour of the dojo, and afterward we'll walk you through which program fits your child and answer any questions. Plan for about an hour.
Q2: What if my child has never coded before?
That's most of our ninjas. Every program starts from zero. Ages 5–7 begin with block-based coding and hands-on STEM building, no reading required. Ages 8–14 start at white belt with visual coding and work up to JavaScript, Lua, and C# with Unity at their own pace. Your child will never be behind, because there is no class to keep up with.
Q3: What is your schedule?
Ninjas come in for weekly sessions and choose the times that work for your family. We're open after school and on weekends, and we run full-day CAMPS during school breaks and pro-D days. Give us a call at 236-997-2633 and we'll find a slot that fits.
Q4: What does my child need to bring?
Just themselves. We provide the computers and everything they'll need. Ninjas can wear whatever they're comfortable in.
Q5: How much is a membership after the free session?
Pricing depends on which program your child joins and how often they come in. We'll go over the options with you in person after the free session, so you can choose based on what you actually saw your child working on. Nothing is committed to at the session.
