We stumbled upon this place purely by chance. I took my son to Yamaha Music center for a trial class - it didn't turn out to be a good fit for him. When we got out of the trial class and walked toward our car, we noticed this cool place that looked designerly and fun, so we poked our head in. Right away, the staff greeted us and had us come in to have a look. My son was immediately attracted to the cute robots and the cool set up in the room. One of the instructors started showing him how to program the robots to move, to aim, to throw a ball - that was so much fun! I was shocked I wasn't aware of this place at all (being a proud South Bay mom who "should" be aware of all kids related places..) The manger Cara said the place had only been opened for a month or so. I guess in a way, it was good it wasn't well advertised, because my son was able to attend the group lesson with just a couple of kids for the price of a group lesson. The class is 90 minutes (younger class is 60 min), perfect length for me to go to a local gym for my workout and back.
The manger is also quite accommodating with our schedule and offered us different times for him to catch up after we got back from our vacation.
There are a couple of other coding schools in the South Bay, but for little kids, this is a lot more fun. I highly recommend Magikid to parents who want their little ones to get interested in coding and robotics. read more
