Coding for Teens

If you have a teenager interested in coding, the time is now. Teens have never been in a better position to learn what coding is, improve their coding skills, and then immediately put those new skills into action.

Coding language options include Python, Java, JavaScript, C++, C#, and more, with camps, classes, and lessons held year-round either nearby or even online. 

Summer 2025 registration is live—seats fill quickly.

Coding Languages for Teens

Teens can use Python to get ideas up and running relatively quickly, given that Python requires fewer lines of code than other languages. Python is used by Google, Disney, other big brands, and can be utilized to develop video games, numeric computing projects, and web frameworks.

JavaScript is an option for teens who are interested in web development and want to create front-end applications should consider JavaScript. It’s popular, and native to most web browsers, making it a very relevant and in-demand language when it comes to creating interactive web apps. 

Teens who are familiar with and want to create Android apps will need to learn Java, and the language is also great for those interested in creating game engines and large backend environments, as well as those wanting to get into Minecraft modding. 

If augmented reality is of interest, teens should consider diving into C#. By combining C# coding and Unity (the industry-standard game development engine), teens learn to use next-level sending and imaging tech to create their own mobile games! 

C++ is a versatile programming language that if mastered, will open the door to complex problem solving and a true understanding of how programs work. Teens might be most familiar with C++ as the language that is used to create computer applications. 

Why teens should want to learn to code

There are many reasons teens should be coding, some of which can start paying off immediately, while others hold their value for the long term. 

To fill a gap: School is required. School is valuable. But most schools also haven’t come around to offering computer science courses. Unfortunately, though, coding is no longer a “nice to have” reserved as a selective skill for only the extremely dedicated to chase and learn on their own. 

To get a leg up: If teens go out and seek to do something not available to most of their peers, they are going to stand out when compared to others. And one of the most important times that comparison happens is when it comes to college applications. 

To secure a lucrative career: There isn’t any denying that a career rooted in coding is a lucrative one (the computer science major is one of the highest paying college majors available), and is something that is required and utilized throughout each and every day across the world.
