Code.Build.Ship.
From first Python programs to AI-powered apps and Raspberry Pi robot cars — One Step Coding helps students stop watching tutorials and start building real, working technology.
project-based
Built for
real learning.
Not a syntax-drilling tutorial factory. Students plan, build, debug, and ship working technology in a small, encouraging room.
Small-group coaching
Real attention for every student, with college-student TAs assisting the lead engineer.
Hands-on building
Hardware on the table from day one — circuits, sensors, robots, real apps.
Ship real projects
Every camp ends with something that works and goes home with the student.
Modern tools
Cursor AI, Next.js, Raspberry Pi, Arduino — what real engineers use today.
Loading camps…
Real projects.
Real hands.
A peek at past camps. Students build, debug, and ship — not watch tutorials. Children's faces are softly blurred for privacy.

Coding is more than syntax — it trains how students think. Every camp moves through the same four steps real engineers use daily.
Discover
What's the problem? Frame it.
Ideate
Why is it happening? Sketch a fix.
Try & Build
Test ideas. Make working things.
Improve
Refine. Ship. Repeat the loop.

with AI
Not a coding
tutorial factory.
Most kids' coding classes drill syntax and call it learning. We do the opposite: students plan, build, debug, and ship working technology in a small, encouraging room.
Real industry experience
25+ years of senior software engineering. Not a curriculum bought from a vendor.
Hands-on every session
Hardware on the table from day one. Students build circuits, robots, real apps.
Modern technology
Cursor AI, Next.js, Raspberry Pi, Arduino. Tools real engineers use today.
Rocky — a senior engineer with 25+ years of active software experience.
A senior software development manager who still ships software for a living, Rocky brings that real-world engineering practice straight into the room. He also runs AI and coding seminars for students and parents across Canada.

Install Python & PyCharm at home
Please install both tools before your first session and bring a laptop with them ready. Students who arrive with Python and PyCharm already set up can jump into coding faster — it helps the whole class get started on time.
- PythonDownload Python →
Download the latest Python for your computer from python.org/downloads, run the installer, and complete setup before camp.
- PyCharmDownload PyCharm →
Install JetBrains PyCharm before class (free Community edition is fine). Mac download: JetBrains PyCharm.
What should my child bring?
A laptop (Windows, Mac, or Chromebook), charger, and a notebook. We provide all software, hardware, and snacks. Arduino kits sold separately at registration.
What ages are camps for?
Kickstart and Parent Seminar: ages 10+. Pi Robot Car: ages 12+. AI Vibe Coding: ages 13+ with some prior coding experience helpful but not required.
What if my child has never coded?
Python Kickstart is built for total beginners. By day two, every student has written original code that controls real LEDs and sensors.
Refunds and changes?
Full refund up to 14 days before camp starts. Within 14 days, we will credit you toward a future camp or send a takeaway kit.
How big are the classes?
Our Clayton room comfortably fits up to 50 students. Every camp pairs the Lead Instructor with college-student TAs, so even larger groups get hands-on attention throughout the session.
Clayton
branch.
Easy parking, walking distance from Cloverdale. Snacks, materials, and Wi-Fi included.
Clayton Branch · Surrey BC
Our home base for every Summer 2026 camp. A dedicated maker-room with projector, full equipment kits, and a long workbench made for soldering, building, and pairing on code — with room for up to 50.
