About Code Ninjas

Code Ninjas is a learning center where kids ages ~5-14 learn to code in a fun, non-intimidating way — by building games, working hands-on with STEM, robotics, and digital tools. We believe in hands-on, incremental learning, helping students build confidence, logic, computational thinking, and creativity while having fun.

Role Summary

The Code Sensei is the primary instructor / coaching guide for students in our dojo. You’ll help kids move through our coding & STEM curriculum (belt system), facilitate their learning, overcome obstacles, and support their growth. You’ll also help maintain a safe, clean, and fun learning environment, and interact with parents about student progress.
