What we’ll build together

A short path from idea → code → on-screen results.

Mini-games

Simple physics, collisions, and scoring. Playable & shareable.

Interactive art

Turn math into visuals—patterns, trails, and generative designs.

Final Project

Each student will choose their own final project to show off during the last session.

Why families choose First Byte

Possibility, projects, and real progress.

Projects, not worksheets

Kids learn faster when they make real things—games, animations, and interactive art they’re proud to show you.

Thinking skills that last

We teach first principles, problem-solving, and debugging—skills that outlast any language or library.

Small groups, big attention

Max 8 students so every kid gets time, feedback, and weekly wins.
