Looking at some local coding camps for my 10yo but they're like $300-400 for a week. She seems interested but honestly I can't tell if she's interested or just wants out of the house for the week lol. Anyone have experience with Code.org or Scratch? Can she actually learn anything useful from free stuff or should I bite the bullet and pay for actual classes?
Does she code at all already or would this be her first exposure? That changes whether it's worth the money imo
Check if they have a trial class or free session first. Some places let you test drive it before committing $400
Honestly $300-400 for a week is pretty standard for coding camps and if she's interested it's worth it. One week away also counts as a win for your sanity
The 'wants out of the house' thing is real but also like... she's 10. If coding sounds mildly interesting to her that's honestly enough. She might surprise you

lmao at 'interested or just wants out of the house' - could be both. My 9yo wanted robotics camp and it turned out she just liked having a snack break at 10am but she still learned some stuff
