I have known ThoughtStem since my daughter was in 5th grade and she is now a sophomore in high school!
My daughter had an interest in coding when her elementary school introduced Scratch-based programming in Technology class. She was adept at it and so we were looking for after-school and weekend enrichment classes to supplement her learning.
ThoughtStem was one of the first companies to offer coding classes to young students in San Diego. My daughter started taking classes from them on Sundays at UCSD; it was a fun self-paced program with college students guiding them if needed. My daughter also took other classes from them that were offered through her school district's after-school enrichment program. Since then, my daughter has continued to pursue studies in AP computer science, engineering, and robotics. She is even volunteering to help other young students learn to code!
I am so grateful to companies like ThoughtStem, also know as MetaCoders (They are now a non-profit organization. Woohoo!), for igniting an interest in science and technology for my daughter!
