5.0 out of 5 stars What a great programming started for kids who likes Minecraft!
Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2019
My daughter likes Roblox and my son LOVES playing Minecraft and I wanted to see how I can make them spend their time productively so decided to give CodaKid a try. I got Roblox course for my daughter and this Minecraft for my son. It was a bit uncomfortable for them to do "learning" instead of just "playing" at first, but after 2-3 times they really got soooooo into this. Unbelievable! Once my son realized what he can do with Minecraft from this course his interest change drastically (same was for my daughter with Roblox). He is learning Java while building his favorite sandbox games.... and also he brags to his friends that he's a "real developer" :)
I don't blame him, kids really do things during this course like real developer - download, setup and use Eclipse and pinta, import resources and all other fun geeky stuff.
This is by far the best self-paced course I've came across. We tried it all, tynker, kodable, etc... all of these were boring for them. CodaKid definitely got it figured out how to keep kids engaged! Really good balance of everything kids need - education, fun, humor and play. Could not wish for a better course.
Oh, and by the way, their tech support is top-notch!

We bought this for my 9 soon to be 10 year old and its been fantastic. He is already familiar with minecraft so he was able to jump right in and start. I do suggest that your student or child having typing experience. This would speed up and make their pause times quicker with out having to go back often to copy the codes. My student had never typed before we tried this so we had to overcome that learning curve other wise the actual product is fantastic the lay out is genius and the tech support is quick if you have a question. All of the modules are left open so if you need to go back step by step directions are always available. We learned if you are wanting to just try it you can also pay monthly instead of buying the pack like this. The downside is you don't get the huge discount.

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2024
Purchased this for an 8 year old. The box only contains the code. Keep in mind that you will need to create a CodaKid account. Initial set-up took awhile to set up, and required installment of multiple programs, but was quick to get started after that. Comes with lots of easy to follow instructional videos and lessons.

1.0 out of 5 stars in our case, it was garbage.
Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2021
we purchased this for our child and it's been a week of an exasperating and frustrating experience. first, we had multiple issues to download the content because the box includes a code to download the software platform. I tried to contact tech support to no avail. after two days I was able to FINALLY download the software only to run into another problem: missing projects' content. again, tech support is MIA. made appointments, sent emails, calling? don't bother because with the excuse that they're working remote they drag responses for days. this is just a terrible delivery of what would be a good product so I must definitely not recommend anyone, not even my enemies (which I don't have) to purchase and go through the nightmare I've gone through. returned the junk and sanity has been restored to our home.

After 10 hours of troubleshooting... my son still hasn't been able to code a single thing. This product isn't what it is adveryised to be. This is more of a pay-gate into other courses they try to sell you...

Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2020
Awesome! Bought this a gift for my 7 year old. It was fairly easy to set up. Definitely recommend using with double monitor or another device. My son used his laptop to code and played the instructional videos on his iPad. He was able to create and use Minecraft mods the first day we set-up the program.

Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2023
This product arrived damaged and open. We proceeded to follow the set up directions via the card in the box with the code for set up. It says the code does not exist. I am currently waiting to hear back from Codakid customer service and will up date this review with the outcome.
