Code Ninjas El Segundo expands STEM education and community engagement initiatives

El Segundo's Code Ninjas is making waves in the community by providing a unique educational experience that combines coding with creativity. The local franchise, which opened in February 2016, has quickly become one of the fastest-growing youth coding centers in North America, attracting young learners eager to explore the world of technology.

At Code Ninjas, children aged 5 to 14 engage in a fun and interactive environment where they learn computer programming and coding skills. The program has been described as the "Disneyland of coding," transforming complex concepts into enjoyable activities that foster a passion for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). Parents have praised the center for its ability to inspire their children, with many noting how their kids develop a genuine interest in coding and engineering.

The success of Code Ninjas El Segundo is attributed to strong community support, including backing from the city and the local Chamber of Commerce. The franchise has not only thrived as a business but has also made significant contributions to the community. Over the past three years, Code Ninjas has provided more than $2,000 in STEM scholarships to local interns from El Segundo High School and other nearby schools, reinforcing its commitment to education and youth development.

This year, Code Ninjas has expanded its after-school programs, bringing coding classes directly to students. The center recently celebrated a special graduation ceremony for a student who created a game, showcasing the achievements of young coders and the support they receive from local educators.

As Code Ninjas continues to grow, it remains dedicated to boosting brain power and building confidence among young learners. The center exemplifies how technology can serve as a powerful tool for personal and community growth, making a lasting impact on the future of El Segundo.
