Live online coding classes where kids build real games they love.
CodeCraft Kids delivers live, online coding workshops for children aged 8–14, using popular game platforms like Scratch, Roblox, and Minecraft to teach programming concepts. Classes run in small cohorts (max 6 kids) for 60–90 minutes, once or twice weekly, over 4–8 week sessions. Parents purchase individual workshop seats or multi-session packages through our simple website. All classes are held via Zoom, with curriculum designed to progress from block-based coding to simple Python scripting within game environments. The business can be run part-time (evenings/weekends) with minimal overhead: a laptop, video conferencing tools, and a marketing budget. As the sole instructor initially, you facilitate sessions, provide feedback, and iterate the curriculum based on student engagement and parent feedback. Revenue comes from per-child, per-workshop fees, with potential to scale by hiring additional instructors or selling recorded content later.
The global kids coding education market is projected to grow at 15% CAGR, fueled by parental demand for STEM skills and screen-time value. Remote learning normalization has made live online enrichment a preferred alternative to apps, especially when combined with gaming, a dominant interest for this age group.
Research 3 popular kids coding games (Scratch, Roblox Studio, Minecraft Education) and draft a 4-week introductory Scratch game-building curriculum this weekend.
Parents of 8–14 year olds seeking screen-time with purpose
$25–$40 per child per 60–90 minute session, paid upfront per workshop series (e.g., $100–$160 for 4 sessions). Acquisition through targeted Facebook/Instagram ads and parent communities. Starting with one weekly cohort of 6 kids at $30/session yields ~$720/month for 4 sessions, with high lifetime value as parents re-enroll for advanced courses. Word-of-mouth is strong when kids show off their creations.
