Hour of Code Classes

We teach kids to code using a variety of different platforms including MIT Scratch, Phaser, HTML, Javascript, Unity 3D, Arduino and more. Students follow our custom curriculum to build their own games, websites, 3D models, animations, and interactive artwork. MVCode clubs are located throughout the Bay Area in Greenbrae, Mill Valley, San Francisco, San Mateo, Redwood City and pop-up location in Albany. We also offer camps and at-school technology programs.

MV GATE is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, founded and supported by Marin parents who believe in bringing enhanced learning opportunities to our kids, now, and in partnership with our schools.  We believe that 1) our kids’ gifts and talents can be best nurtured through empowering challenges and support; 2) that our own community represents a great and largely untapped resource in our kids’ education; and 3) that today's kids, if they are going to be happy and successful, must develop a richer set of cognitive and life skills than any previous generation.

Apple Stores will participate in Hour of Code with daily coding sessions in celebration of Computer Science Education Week.
