Code Ninjas Have Invaded Newport Beach!!

By Annie Young, Macaroni Kid Santa Ana and Macaroni Kid Newport Beach-Costa Mesa Publisher May 27, 2021

This last year has been really hard for my 2 kids as my oldest became a teenager in the pandemic and my son turned 9. This is the age they reach for independence and can really start to think for themselves and solve some complex problems. I really needed something to challenge them, to stimulate them. The stress and anxiety over distance learning has really taken a toll and they have not been excited about much lately...until I told them about Code Ninjas. 

What's Code Ninjas?

Founded in 2016, Code Ninjas® is the world’s largest and fastest-growing kids coding franchise.  At Code Ninjas centers, kids learn to code while building their own video games. They gain problem solving, critical thinking, and STEM skills in a fun, safe, and inspiring environment.  Kids have fun, parents see results®




Yes, I found my heroes, or ninjas, if I may. Code Ninjas Newport Beach is locally owned by Jeffrey Lee and operated by Christine Hsu. Jeffrey Lee's passion for computer science led him to open his own location of the Code Ninjas Franchise. Both Jeffrey and Christine are "excited to provide an engaging and interactive space for kids to both learn and grow their confidence in computing."

Is Code Ninjas right for my kids?

I can tell you that Code Ninjas Newport Beach is right for my kids. Why? I have never seen that big a smile on my son's face all year. He truly enjoyed creating a simple video game, that quite honestly, no one would be able to win. But he did it. Code Ninjas empower kids to plan, organize, and problem-solve. My kids love video games, so this is totally in their wheelhouse. But don't take my word for it. Give Code Ninjas Newport Beach a call and schedule a tour and a trial class. Trust me, you will not be disappointed. You may even be a little proud. 

What about summer camps?

They definitely have those! Actually, for a limited time, you can get $50 off one of their STEM Summer Camps if you sign up today. Click here to enroll your 7-14 year old child(ren).
