Homeschoolers and their parents, if you have kids who are curious about coding, robotics, or game design, iCode Knoxville offers a homeschool academy that is genuinely engaging. They run project-based classes where kids aren't just passively consuming tech—they build games, learn to code, and develop problem-solving skills.
What They Offer:
- Game Development for younger kids (ages 6-8) using Scratch
- Minecraft & Roblox Programming (ages 8-11) transitioning from drag-and-drop to actual Lua code
- Robotics classes for older kids
- AI instruction infused into every belt level
Their Belt Program is pretty clever—kids level up through coding skill levels just like in martial arts, which keeps them motivated. Each belt represents a new milestone in their technical journey.
Pro tip: They offer a free trial class before you commit. Seriously—take them up on it. You'll see if your kid actually clicks with the format before paying for a full term.
