I Like how creative this class let us be and how many free choices it gave us in our programming projects. I also like how comfy the chairs are."
--- Michael, 5th Grade, Kuna, Idaho
"Everything was fantastic! My son does not love going to school, but he loved this class. Thank you !"
--- Trena - Parent, Meridian, Idaho
"I like that I learned how to make games and animations. My favorite part was that I had very kind teachers. I wished that we had more days. I also wish we had more time for creating more things."
--- Connor, 4th Grade, Nampa, Idaho
"I like the things that you taught. I enjoyed the games you made. You guys should have a bigger headquarter!"
--- Alex B. 7th Grade, Boise, Idaho
"The software was great and the logic was great to learn. The instructor was great! My son was inspired by him. Perhaps have an "advanced" class to build on?"
--- Mark - Parent, Meridian, Idaho

"My favorite part of the class is making the games how you want it. The most interesting part and exciting part is also making games with code. What you can do better is healthier snacks. That's all I can think of."
--- Thomas, 6th Grade, Meridian, Idaho
"Encouraged work outside the classroom."
--- Andy - Parent, Meridian, Idaho
"It targeted one of my child's biggest interests. At this point, he wants to be a game developer when he grows up. So it's very relevant."
--- Heather - Parent, Kuna, Idaho
"What I liked about the class was the teacher and the helpers, because they were helpful. What interested me most was learning how to code/program games. What could be better is maybe make it so it is 3D and an option to get any song without downloading it online."
--- Levi, 6th Grade, Meridian, Idaho
"What I liked: No.1 - fun with friends. No.2 - easy to learn coding. No.3 - kind and helpful teachers to help us figure things out. You did everything exceptionally!"

"My son can learn to be creative with programming - without just playing games"
--- Trina - Parent, Meridian, Idaho
"I enjoyed learning to program on Scratch. I will use Scratch in the future. This class inspired me to go on Codecademy and learn Javascript."
--- Ethan, 7th grade, Meridian, Idaho
"Very engaging for the kids. Good content and instructor. Need to have a follow on class for kids to learn more. Much better to have kids write game programs than just play them."
--- Dan - Parent, Boise, Idaho
"I liked the programs that we used and they are easy to understand. I was excited to come back everyday and learn something new about programming. I wish the class lasted more than 1 week. I wish we learn more about sensing so that we could put that in our games."
