Welcome to theCoderSchoolCentennial! We are Derek and Kayla Hutson and we are thrilled to bring tCS to Colorado! We've been here for about 7 years now. Derek works in IT providing ERP solutions to companies of all sizes and scales, serving as a frontline of communication between in-house developers and customers using the solutions. Kayla is a rockstar lab scientist who works in the Denver VA. Our daughter Ella was born here as a native 2 years ago, and her sister Nora is close behind her!
This time 5 years ago, Derek was still working as a personal trainer and had just made the decision to take a boot camp in software engineering to pursue a substantial career change. It paid off in a big way, and we wanted to find a way to help younger kids and teenagers start down the same path into tech for the same rewards! theCoderSchool provides this with an environment unlike anywhere else - personalized code coaching in a field that is exploding worldwide! Not only that, but we only hire world-class coaches that are also computer programmers. Your kiddos will be in great hands!
We're always looking for great Code Coaches. Shoot us an email with resumé to see if we're a fit!
As you and your family consider coding programs, it helps to keep in mind:
Whether the student wants to explore Minecraft modding in Minecraft camp, is interested in HTML, or wants to learn block-based coding like CSS, our interactive classes provide a great coding experience.
