Coding is Fun for 8-Year-Olds at Panda Programmer!

Eight-year-olds love to explore, create, and learn new things—and coding is a perfect way to do all three! At Panda Programmer, we teach kids ages 8 to 12 how to create their own games, animations, and interactive projects using computer programming.

Most schools don’t teach computer science, but learning to code at a young age helps kids think logically, solve problems, and be creative. Our classes and  summer camps start with fun, simple projects, and as kids build confidence, they move on to making their own games and stories using real coding concepts like loops, conditions, and sequences.

Coding Makes Kids Smarter!

When kids learn to code, they also develop important thinking skills, like:

 Solving problems – Fixing mistakes in their projects.

 Logical thinking – Understanding how one action affects another.

 Planning ahead – Organizing ideas before building something.

 Creativity – Bringing their own ideas to life with code!

At Panda Programmer, we use a kid-friendly curriculum that makes learning fun and exciting. We teach these skills in our after-school programs and summer camps so kids can keep learning year-round!

Coding Can Help in the Future!

Even though 8-year-olds aren’t thinking about jobs yet, learning to code now can help them in many different careers later on! Coding is used in:

  • Video games & robotics
  • Science & medicine
  • Business & problem-solving

Even if they don’t become a programmer, learning to code helps kids in school and beyond by improving their ability to think, plan, and create!

Learning In-Person is Best!

While some kids try online coding, learning in-person is way better! At Panda Programmer, teachers are there to help right away and make sure kids understand and have fun.

Our classes are held at MCPS schools, and our summer camps take place in Gaithersburg, Silver Spring, and Bethesda.
