Who are we?
KidsCodeFuture Academy — Ottawa’s premier coding academy for kids — is now launching. Located at 2821 Saint Stephens Street, Ottawa, we help kids ages 5–14 go from playing games to building them.
Students learn to code by designing and creating their own video games — from characters and levels to fully playable worlds.
They love it. They stay engaged. And they cannot wait to come back. Meanwhile, parents see real results.
As students progress through our belt system — from White to Black — they develop coding skills, logical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and confidence that carries into school and beyond.
Our core promise is simple:
Kids have fun. Parents see results. And that promise drives everything we do.
