iCode Plano and Murphy

Here at iCode, we introduce kids to the exciting adventures of STEM education through hands-on, project-based learning that helps them develop real-life skills—while, of course, having fun! We believe every child learns best when they’re curious, engaged, and creating something they can be proud of.

At iCode, our programs are designed to grow with your child, offering ten levels of programming and technology curriculum that build confidence and technical skills step-by-step. Whether your child is just beginning their STEM journey or ready to take on advanced programming challenges, iCode has a place for them.

Our STEM Jr. Belt (Ages 5–7) is where the journey begins. This level introduces our youngest learners to the fundamentals of STEM through playful adventures with Codie, our friendly mascot. Together, they explore exciting themes like space, the jungle, and dinosaurs while learning the basics of problem-solving, creativity, and curiosity.

The Foundation Belt (Ages 6-8) focuses on basic game development and computer literacy. Students learn how computers work, practice proper typing skills, and begin programming with Scratch. It’s the perfect class for kids who are familiar with technology but still need help understanding how everything connects.

Next is the White Belt (Ages 8-11), where students dive into robotics, 3D printing, and 3D modeling. Using VEX robotics equipment, they learn to code robots, operate 3D printers safely, and design their own creations in programs like Tinkercad and SculptGL.

Our Gray Belt (Ages 8-11), currently our most popular level, brings learning to life with Minecraft and Roblox. Students discover how to code, build, and customize their own games within these favorite platforms—transforming their playtime into powerful learning experiences.

The Orange Belt (Ages 8-11) introduces website development, where kids build their very own websites—perfect for inspiring young entrepreneurs! The Yellow Belt focuses on app development, allowing students to design and code interactive apps, including fun projects like a clicker game similar to Flappy Bird.

In the Green Belt (Ages 10-13), students explore drone programming and Python, combining flight technology with one of today’s most important programming languages.

The Red Belt (Ages 11-15) takes things up a notch with game development using Unreal Engine 5, giving students a chance to design games like the pros.

The Blue Belt (Ages 11-15) introduces cybersecurity and networking, helping students understand how to protect data and stay safe online.

Finally, the Black Belt (Ages 13+) challenges advanced learners with web app development using Java, preparing them for high-level coding and real-world applications.

Beyond our structured programs, iCode also offers exciting camps throughout the year, allowing kids to explore specialized topics and have fun during school breaks.

What makes iCode truly special is our focus on learning by doing. Instead of memorizing facts, students build projects that bring their imagination to life—like programming a robot or designing a video game. Along the way, they develop essential life skills such as teamwork, communication, leadership, and problem-solving.

At iCode, we help children see the joy in learning and the power of technology. By enrolling your child, you’re giving them more than an education—you’re giving them confidence, creativity, and the skills to thrive in a fast-changing world. We’re not just preparing kids for the future; we’re empowering them to create it.
