Costa Mesa's Premier STEM School

We provide significantly more value through our instructor-led classes (not just instructor-present), 6:1 student-to-instructor ratio, STEM.org certified curriculum spanning 184 months, and hands-on experience with professional hardware like drones, 3D printers, and robotics kits. Our pricing reflects the quality of education your child receives.

Learning to code is like learning to read - it's about understanding, not just production. AI can write music, but we still teach piano. AI can write novels, but we teach English. The same applies to computer science. Plus, we teach students how to work WITH AI - prompt engineering, building on large language models, and understanding the code that AI generates. These skills will be even more valuable in an AI-driven future.

Perfect! Most of our students start with zero coding experience. We have a belt assessment to place your child at exactly the right level, and our instructors are trained to meet students where they are. Our curriculum starts with visual block coding (like Scratch) before progressing to text-based languages.

We offer a trial class so your child can experience iCode before committing. Once enrolled, our refund policy depends on the program. Contact us to discuss specific circumstances - we want every student to have a great experience.

Yes! We understand schedules can be unpredictable. We work with families to schedule make-up sessions when students miss classes. Contact your instructor or our front desk to arrange a make-up class.

Each belt runs for 9 months (one school year), with 9 monthly sprints. Students progress through one sprint per month, building skills incrementally. The entire belt program offers 90 months of progressive STEM learning - that's over 10 years of curriculum!

Three key differences: (1) Instructor-LED classes where teachers actively guide students, not just monitor, (2) smaller 6:1 student-to-instructor ratio for personalized attention, and (3) hands-on hardware focus with robotics, drones, and 3D printers - not just screen time. Plus, we're the only program with triple STEM.org validation.

Absolutely! Our belt assessment ensures we place your child at the right level regardless of when they start. We also offer flexibility to catch up or join ongoing sprints depending on their experience level.

We have programs starting at age 5 (STEM Jr Belt) all the way through high school (Black Belt for ages 13+). The best time to start is now - we'll find the perfect fit for your child's age and experience level.

No! We provide everything - laptops, robotics kits, drones, 3D printers, and all materials. Students just need to bring their curiosity and creativity. This ensures everyone has access to the same professional-grade equipment.
