Jackson\u2019s dream is to work for Nintendo, so when his parents were looking to supplement his virtual schooling, they decided coding classes would be a good fit. Now Jackson is several courses into the CodeWizardsHQ elementary program and he\u2019s even starting to teach his friends some basics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supplementing Virtual Schooling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When Jackson\u2019s school went virtual at the beginning of the pandemic, his parents were concerned he wasn\u2019t getting the same amount of instructional time in the transition. They wanted to find an extracurricular activity to challenge him that was still something he\u2019d enjoy. That\u2019s when they found CodeWizardsHQ.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

“He always talked about building video games and at the time he was really into Minecraft, so I knew this would be perfect,\u201d says Jackson\u2019s mom, Amy. “Me and him had a discussion, and he really wants to work for Nintendo one day and I said, \u2018if you want to work with Nintendo, you better start now.\u2019 At the end of the day, if he doesn’t go into game design or anything like that, there’s going to be a technology aspect that this could be beneficial for in the future.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jackson really enjoyed learning how to make games in Scratch and has now progressed to programming with JavaScript and Python. His parents also appreciated the time that Jackson got before class to interact with his classmates, especially when his school was virtual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know it’s very minor, but I think just having the 15 minutes before class like where everyone’s logging on and they can just chat about anything, especially when he wasn’t getting a lot of interaction,\u201d says Amy. \u201cIt was just great that he could talk to other kids that were interested in coding, because we’re in a rural area where coding is not pushed, so I think sometimes he doesn’t have a lot of people like peers to talk to about this type of stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharing His Coding Skills<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After showing his friends some of the games he made in his CodeWizardsHQ classes, Jackson had the opportunity to teach his classmates in virtual school a little bit of Scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn third grade \u2013 it was a virtual class \u2013 I taught people how to use Scratch to launch a rocket,\u201d he says. \u201cSomeone told me right after that they started using ScratchJr. I thought it was pretty cool because he made a game that was like Among Us but with ducks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that school is back to in-person classes, Jackson\u2019s principal has asked him to share his coding skills even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHis principal is really involved with the kids and he was asking the other day for me to send the link to one of Jackson\u2019s projects because he wanted to see it,\u201d says Amy. \u201dHe said, \u2018we’re going to start teaching coding in the school system\u2019 \u2013 they teach basic stuff \u2013 \u2018and I’d love for Jackson to come down and maybe help and do some of that stuff.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Jackson<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Outside of school and CodeWizardsHQ, Jackson enjoys playing video games and reading. He\u2019s also started showing his younger sister some coding basics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI taught her how to do the rocket thing in Scratch, and she wanted me to show her more once she got her own Scratch account,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Jackson\u2019s parents, they\u2019ve enjoyed seeing how far he\u2019s come already with his coding skills and they like that he can stick with CodeWizardsHQ through high school. They can see the benefits and that kids really need to learn to code<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI really liked the idea that it started off kind of slow, in a good way, but then it accelerates really fast. He\u2019s learning things that I didn’t see as quickly in other programs\u2019 curriculum,\u201d says Amy. \u201cThat was important because he really loved Scratch, but I told him you’ve got to graduate from it. Looking back, one reason I went with CodeWizards was because I liked the idea that it was mapped out where it went all the way into high school. We wanted to make sure we picked a program that he’s not going to grow out of.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jackson’s current CodeWizardsHQ teacher not only recognizes his coding skills, but loves his enthusiasm in class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Jackson is one of the most enthusiastic and hard working coders I’ve ever met. He’s always the first to volunteer, answer questions, and always seem to be an exercise ahead of the class. He has a super bright future ahead of him if he keeps it up.<\/p>\nAlan Shoiket, CodeWizardsHQ Teacher<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
