Code Ninjas Lubbock will be hosting free Hour of Code sessions all week long for kids that aren’t enrolled in our current CREATE or JR programs. These sessions are one hour long and TOTALLY FREE!
We have three different activities depending on age and skill level:
- ScratchJR is designed for our youngest ninjas and no reading is required!
- MakeCode blocks is an introductory, block-based language to learn the concepts of coding. No coding experience necessary!

- MakeCode Arcade uses JavaScript to create arcade-like video games, a more advanced option for ninjas with some previous coding experience.
Our second-annual Holiday Hackathon brings together experienced and novice code ninjas for a fun and friendly coding competition. The event will take place Sunday, December 13 and will include three different divisions — JR, beginner, and intermediate. Prizes will be given in each division and the top projects from each division will move on to compete with other Code Ninjas locations worldwide for thousands in prizes!
No coding experience is necessary for the Holiday Hackathon, but we do ask that if your child hasn’t coded with us before, that they participate in one of our free Hour of Code events earlier in the week.
All of our CSEd week events are totally free…it’s our way of sharing the gift of coding with the community! But if you are able, we ask that you visit our South Plains Food Bank Virtual Food Drive and make a contribution…Hi-YAH!
