MakerKids has provided a fantastic start to my 7-year-old son in making tech a creative, intellectually stimulating, and interactive realm, not just a consumer experience. The staff have all been really great, and I think MK has a true mission, and a vital role to play, in providing learning and developmental opportunities that will stand kids in good stead.
My 7 year old son attended a week in the summer at Robotics & 3D Printing camp, and loved it! He was challenged with the processes, and learned so much. The take home made-at-camp items were super cool. He enjoyed learning from the Bloor Street instructors and enjoyed park time.
Best investment to make my children's screen time with purpose. The program is very receptive to feedback. It allows making switches to classes or scheduling make-up classes. The small class size also keeps the kids focused and engaged. I highly recommend this program.
My 8 year old son signed up for the summer camp and loved it. Great focus on STEM and early coding. They used a good platform from MIT for early coding which does a good job teaching the fundamentals of software development. Money shouldn't be the reason to get kids into coding since learning to code is really about enabling creativity ..... but.....with experienced developers commanding $300K+ salaries and new grads making $180K out of school this program is well worth the investment. Thanks to the facilitators at the camp.
MakerKids is a wonderful program with fantastic instructors, great customer service and most of all, kids have fun and learn! I highly recommended MakerKids.
Highly recommend it! My son (age 8) has been in the Idea Incubator class for 10 weeks now. He looks forward to it every week and can really articulate what he's learning - which to me means that he's really understanding it. Since joining MakerKids we've talked about our experience so positively that three other kids we know have joined!! (2 girls, 1 boy). As an educator myself it's a real pleasure to see ACTUAL student-centred enthusiasm-driven learning happening. It's clear that so much thought is going in to fostering an environment where curiosity is supported and encouraged. Our son is gaining confidence and competence at a rapid rate in this program. We feel so lucky to have found this program. Great free classes to check it out too!
Very lousy customer service...I wrote an email to make an inquiry about a program but nobody responded. I then called them to discuss the details, the staff I talked to said she doesn't have the answer and asked me to leave phone number and email address so that they can contact me. Then I said this is not the right way to do business and want to talk with someone immediately, then she put me on hold and get back to me said that the earliest time they will call me back is around noon next day. Unbelievable lousy....
