Why I Started CodeWizardsHQ<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

After searching for and not finding a high-quality coding program for my 9-year-old daughter, I started CodeWizardsHQ.<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In the summer of 2015, my nine-year-old daughter, Kavya, was finishing third grade. It was around that time I noticed that the world that we lived in was increasingly being surrounded by technology. The foundation of all this technology is code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a father, I wanted to prepare my daughter to thrive in the tech-driven future<\/strong> and I wanted to introduce her to computer programming. I thought if she picked up even the basics, she wouldn\u2019t be intimidated by all of the technology she would see around her. I also believed that if she knew how to code, a world of opportunities would be opened up to her, regardless of the field she pursue<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found an online tutorial for learning programming. I set my daughter up to follow the tutorials. I told her that if she got stuck, she could ask for my help. In three minutes, she was back saying, \u201cDaddy, I am stuck. I need help\u201d. It happened every three minutes. That was when I realized that most kids don\u2019t learn on their own. They need to be actively taught. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I set out to teach her.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I couldn\u2019t show up and start teaching. I needed to prepare. I spent several hours preparing by working through the curriculum. Then I patiently taught her, supporting her while she grasped the concepts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I noticed that the curriculum I was using was dry and wasn\u2019t engaging her. It had the \u201cif-you-do-this, this-will-happen\u201d approach<\/strong> without explaining the \u201cwhy\u201d<\/strong> behind a concept. It also wasn\u2019t visually interesting. So I spent hours researching online for a better curriculum only to end up creating it myself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That summer, I spent over 200 hours teaching my daughter to code. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After summer, as I got busy with work, it became more and more difficult to find the time to write curriculum and to teach her. But I didn\u2019t want her to stop learning to code. That was when I started looking for a coding program that would continue what I had started. That meant that I was looking for an extremely high-quality program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A program that has an engaging curriculum, one where she would be inherently motivated to learn. Curriculum that is enjoyable yet challenging.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanted a program that was taught by a knowledgeable instructor who was willing to patiently teach<\/strong> her. Someone who would build a relationship with her, inspire her to learn, and was ultimately invested in her success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting stuck and not having help was the single most important thing that frustrated my daughter and made her want to quit. I wanted a program that offered her the support she needed <\/strong>when she needed it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I couldn\u2019t find one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I started CodeWizardsHQ to build the high-quality coding program that I wanted for my own daughter. That\u2019s the spirit with which we do everything at CodeWizardsHQ. Your child will get exactly what I wanted for mine. Nothing less.<\/strong> Engaging curriculum. Inspiring instructors. Comprehensive support. All designed to make the best place for a child to learn to code. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I invite you to join the CodeWizardsHQ program and experience it yourself. We look forward to teaching your child!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
