I spent a decade as a special education teacher and IEP case manager, then went on to lead accessibility programs at Xbox and Riot Games — making games work for kids of every learning style and ability. pixa11y brings that same experience straight to your kid, right here in Frankford: small groups, adaptive pacing, and a class built to include everyone, not a one-size-fits-all curriculum.
Most kids in this club won't grow up to be software engineers — and that's not the point. Coding is one of the clearest ways for a kid to practice a set of skills that show up everywhere else.
Coding is just breaking a big problem into small steps, trying something, and fixing it when it doesn't work. That's the same muscle used in math, reading comprehension, and everyday frustration.
Most kids only ever consume technology — games, apps, videos made by someone else. Building something that actually runs, even something small, is a different kind of confidence.
Code breaks constantly, even for experts. Debugging teaches kids that "it didn't work — yet" is a normal step, not a stopping point — the core of a growth mindset, built through real practice instead of just being told to "try harder."
Some kids already get this exposure at home. This club exists so that access to computational thinking isn't limited to whichever families already have it — every kid gets a real shot at it.
Built on Code.org's free, standards-aligned courses, with hands-on Scratch projects layered in at every level. Kids build something real every single class — no laptop to bring, Chromebooks are provided.
Mostly unplugged and pre-reader friendly — sequencing and loops as physical games before screens.
First real screen-based projects — conditionals, loops, and early Scratch builds.
Variables, functions, and kid-designed games with more independence.
Each grade band runs five days a week — Monday through Friday — with the time slot rotating by day. Your child attends just one day a week, whichever day and time works best for your family.
Classes meet in the community conference room, a familiar, easy-to-find space with parking right outside.

Accessibility isn't an add-on here — it's the reason this club exists. If your child needs specific accommodations — sensory considerations, communication differences, mobility needs, extra processing time, or anything else — tell us on the sign-up form or reach out directly at samantha@pixa11y.com. We'll work with your family to make sure class actually works for your kid, not the other way around.
Classes begin Monday, August 3, 2026. Each class is capped at just 6 seats. Registering more than one child? Add them all to the same form. Submitting guarantees each child either a confirmed spot in a class or a place on the waitlist — we handle placement by hand based on availability and follow up by email to confirm.
