TROY, Mich. – Kids and teens in Troy can now take a “byte” out of the world of coding.
As the technology industry continues to grow and power the everyday lives of Americans, there is often still a gap in the average curricula of today’s schools when it comes to teaching coding and computer science skills to children. Well, not any longer for kids and teens in metro Detroit.
iCode, a national computer science education franchise, announced today that it is opening a new location in Troy. Online classes are currently available for students K-12. The Troy iCode will open its brick-and-mortar location in spring 2021.
“I am so excited to bring technology-based education courses to the students of metro Detroit, said Pratheep, owner of iCode in Troy. “I believe coding is an essential skill for the future. Our classes offer a unique skillset that is not taught on a fundamental level in traditional schools.”
With Pratheep’s background in engineering, business ownership and experience as a lawyer, he is well equipped to operate the new location. The location will offer STEAM-based computer science education through proprietary curricula and a signature BELT program. The progressive BELT program graduates students to more advanced levels of coding and is built to keep students motivated to continue developing their skills similar to how belts function in the martial arts. With a convenient class schedule catering to any family’s schedule, after-school, online, summer and holiday programs will all be held at iCode Troy.
“We’re thrilled that Pratheep and Andrea have opened their online classes to students in the Troy area,” said Abid Abedi, founder and CEO of iCode. “Now, students can have the opportunity to learn often overlooked skills that can benefit them for a future in tech. With custom programs built for every experience level, we’re looking forward to seeing how the kids and teens at Pratheep and Andrea’s location develop their skills.”
iCode differentiates itself in the fast-growing computer science education industry with its state-of-the-art facilities and proprietary curricula. Through its robust menu of offerings and several classrooms in each location, the brand is able to serve students of all skill levels with programs that teach students how to build games, apps, websites, and work with robotics. iCode also offers the unique iSports professional gaming league with competitions taking place after school, once per week for a five-week period. In addition to the tactical abilities coding education offers, students benefit from developing soft skills, including critical thinking and problem-solving.
Today’s announcement follows an eventful year for the brand, with upcoming openings in Meridian, Idaho; Pittsburgh; Bellevue, Washington; Moorestown and Bridgewater, New Jersey; The Colony, Sugarland and Murphy, Texas; and Goodyear, Arizona.
