Your Child Loves Coding, Accelerate Their Learning
Parents and students both want to know what’s next when learning and exploring coding for the first time. Coding Club and Tinker Crew provide weekly sessions to learn more about a variety of coding topics and practices like programming, robotics, game design, and more.
For a one-time fee, young learners will gain access to these groups for the entire semester. And in-person coders will receive a t-shirt to wear when the Clubs are in session!
The Coding Club is for beginners, and Tinker Crew is designed for students who have already attended Coding Club.
Education Meets Passion for Technology
Coding Club and Tinker Crew embrace exploration as students are given more space to ask questions and try new things. Coding Club encourages children to explore computer programming and computer science with peers and experienced instructors. Tinker Crew encourages children to explore their unique programming and computer science interest at their own pace.
Kids Love to Explore
Kindergarten through 2nd Grade students learn by direct experimentation. All K-2 young learners will get hands-on experience building robots, coding with tablets and computers, and problem solving. We maximize screen time and use the hour to solve challenges and find how they learn best.
In the Coding Club, the first 9 sessions are instructor led, and in the final 3 sessions, young learners can choose their favorite activities and build their own creations!
Tinker Crew provides 12 weeks of student-led sessions that allow learners to dive deeper into their chosen interest of coding topics and practices like programming, robotics, game design, and more.
Schedule
Coding Club members meet weekly on Thursdays, January 11th-April 18th, from 5:30-6:30 p.m. EST for K-2 students with short Spring Breaks based on local school schedules.
Tinker Crew members meet weekly on Mondays, January 8th-April 22nd, from 5:30-6:30 p.m. EST for K-2 students with short Spring Breaks based on local school schedules.
Coding Club and Tinker Crew meet at the Innovation Connector in Muncie.

Build Critical Skills
Schools are introducing students to coding and STEM, and we guide 3rd-5th Grade young learners by going deeper into computer science that help with critical thinking and problem solving. Students learn coding, game design, and robotics throughout the semester. Each student gravitates to a specific way of learning, and we help foster curiosity and give them the tools they need to pick a Passion Project to build necessary skills.

Play, and code, Minecraft with friends
Minecraft Education integrates seamlessly with Microsoft’s MakeCode coding platform to allow students to modify their Minecraft world with visual code. MakeCode teaches the 1010 of programming, including variables, control flow, if statements, loops and functions – all in a familiar Minecraft environment.
Activities
- Learn the basics of coding in an easy-to-use visual interface
- Chicken rain – Ever had thousands of chickens falling towards you like rain?
- Create a Mega Jump super power for your character
- Learn how to make your character walk on water with nested loops
- Play mini games at the end of class
The Minecraft Club meets at the Innovation Connector in Muncie.
Through partnership with the Innovation Connector, the Coding Connector combines a state-of-the-art facility with fiber based internet access, computer resources, an active marketing and business center, and the absolute best coding instructors and facilities in our community.
