Fun, project-based coding adventures for kids 8–12, online and in-person.
CodeCrafters offers a hybrid after-school coding club where children ages 8–12 learn programming through engaging, project-based activities. Sessions alternate between in-person meetings at local community spaces and live online workshops, making it flexible for part-time operation. The curriculum uses free, kid-friendly platforms like Scratch and Code.org, supplemented with affordable physical computing kits (e.g., micro:bit) for tangible outcomes. Each 6-week module centers on a theme—game design, animation, or simple robotics—culminating in a shareable project. With a maximum of 8 students per cohort, the club fosters collaboration and individual support. The business requires only a laptop, internet, and minimal teaching aids, fitting a $500–$5,000 budget. Operating 5–15 hours weekly, the founder manages marketing, curriculum prep, and teaching. Revenue comes from monthly subscription fees, with first revenue achievable within 30 days through a pilot cohort.
The booming EdTech and STEM education trend, accelerated by remote learning adoption, creates high demand for accessible, hybrid coding programs that fill the after-school gap.
