The kids have both enjoyed code-ish type activities and games for a long time, from the Code-a-pillar<\/a> as toddlers to the hands-on OSMO coding games<\/a>. So when I saw the opportunity for a free trial of a next-level, live interaction coding lesson with Codeverse<\/a>, I decided to give it a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had our first trial class of Codeverse (book your own free trial class here<\/a>) a couple months ago. I thought Hailey would love it but was unsure how Kaitlyn (6) would do with interacting on a computer when she doesn’t have much experience on them. It turns out, she did just fine!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The classes are 50 minutes long,. During their initial trial class, I set the girls up individually with the computer during their unique time slot, watched for a few minutes, but then stepped back so they could do it on their own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their live instructors are so great! They are friendly and patient, happy to explain things as many times as it took for the girls to grasp the new concepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To take a class, you log into the platform just before your assigned lesson time. The instructor will pop on just before the hour and you hit accept to set up the live, zoom-style connection. The instructor is able to see the child’s screen and easily direct them through the learning tasks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As they complete levels, they can send me the games they create via text message so I’m able to see their progress. They also have access to the Codeverse<\/span> <\/a>Studio during non-lesson hours when they can work on earning points, badges, and leveling up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was really impressed with the set up of writing code and watching it come to life on the adjacent screen. I was even more impressed with how much the girls got from it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Codeverse<\/span> <\/a>uses a proprietary text based coding language. A lot of alternative programs use drag and drop features, which is a great intro to coding concepts. However, there are missing pieces and skills between that and actual coding. Learn more about KidScript in this video.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a homeschool mom, one of my biggest challenges in finding ways to present subjects I’m not well-versed in, like foreign language and next level computer skills. I’m really pleased with the knowledge the girls are obtaining through our Codeverse<\/span> <\/a>lessons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I appreciate the different plan options. Right now we do once a week but I could see us switching that to twice a month during the busy summer or upping it to twice a week if one of the kids really takes off with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Codeverse Discount Code<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I got in touch with the team for this Codeverse<\/span> <\/a>review and asked them if they had a discount code I could pass along. They came through and offered a great one! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use the code BRITTANY-50 to get 50% off your first month<\/strong>. But don’t forget to take advantage of the free trial class<\/a> first to make sure it’s a good fit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
