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!

No-risk Free Trial

We offer a FREE Trial Class so you can check out what we’re all about and gauge your level of interest. Even better, we can find the right fit for your child to help ensure their success. Finding the right class for your child is our #1 priority.

Industry Standard Languages

Learn video game industry standard programming languages such as Visual Basic, Python, Java, C#, C++ and Unity. We’re proud to offer a challenging learning environment for all skill levels, with all the fun of video games!

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!

"The most influential courses of my life"

My name is Austin Chamney, and I have been attending courses at Real Programming for Kids since I was thirteen years old. I started off programming the original Donkey Kong game with the beginner language Visual Basic.

"RP4K really helped shape my future career direction"

I would love to talk about how RP4K influenced my career choices so far. RP4K helped me identify very early on in my life a few things that really helped shape my future career direction.

"RP4K changed my life"

I was a student of Real Programming 4 Kids when I was growing up in Winnipeg, Manitoba in the 90s. I'm 30 years old now with a life based around programming.

"I highly recommend Real Programming 4 Kids."

When I first picked up the phone and called you in 2005, I was very excited to hear that you use Visual Basic, a real programming language! Over the next 5 years, my son Brendan has taken three of your Visual Basic Game Programming courses, a C++ course, and a C# course.
