Why Choose Computer Programming for your Kids?

Teaching children programming ensures they are better able to use logic in problem-solving for the years ahead. Programming knowledge helps children structure their ideas more effectively while developing their grasp of challenging technical concepts. The resulting computer knowledge empowers children to greater success in the future as computers and other devices become further integrated into our lives.

Real Instructors

Each RP4K “Guru” is a post-secondary student, specializing in Computer Science or Computer Engineering. Our gurus are able to give students the inside track on what to expect as a programmer in high school and beyond.

Real Math

Without math, video games wouldn’t exist. Each course is like a hidden math lesson. All of our courses apply math from simple counting of integers right up to 3D vectors and trigonometry. Who knew math could be this fun?

Real Fun

Teachers often say it’s tough to compete with video games. So we don’t. We use them to a student’s advantage. But let’s face it, when you’re a kid you just want to have a good time! Our classes are informal and relaxed, but most of all, FUN!

Real Programming

We’re thrilled to see so many fun video game design camps being offered these days. However, most camps use drag-and-drop game making software, requiring minimal programming knowledge. We only teach REAL programming – just like the pros!

"RP4K proved to be a great source of inspiration"

My name is Marie Deslauriers, and I took my first class with RP4K when I was sixteen, learning C++ with the sidescroller game Kenny (now Haunted Harbour).

"RP4K was a really special experience"

My name is Fernando. 10 years ago I was an RP4K student. Now I'm a professional game developer. RP4K was a really special experience for me during my youth. RP4K got me started with the programming languages that I use today.

"I would recommend it to anyone"

For the past few years, my son Gabriel has been attending the Real Programming 4 Kids program at St. Mildred's and I believe that with attending this fun, challenging, interactive, structural gaming program that it has aicled Gabriel in being able to achieve excellent marks at school in Math.

If you’re interviewing for software development jobs, it’s worthwhile noting that the position piques people's interest when on a resume.

If there's time at the end of an interview, an interviewer is likely to enquire about RP4K and the role itself. I experienced this on three occasions.
