Excellent, age-appropriate intro to computational thinking for kids 8–12 with manageable 45-minute weekly lessons over four weeks.

A fun, creative course that asks kids to think through a problem and build a LEGO solution; my 10-year-old enjoyed the challenge and the chance to present a photo or video of their final build. The documentation mix (drawing and written journal) added good reflection practice, but at 55 minutes in a single one-week lesson it felt a touch rushed for older kids who wanted to iterate more. Overall I'd recommend it for a quick creative boost, though parents of older children might prefer a longer or multi-week option.

The cybersecurity and phishing awareness parts were useful, but my 12-year-old found the command-line and local server sections confusing and the single 45-minute lesson per week wasn't enough to really grasp them.

The puzzles and algorithm challenges held my 12-year-old's attention, and they enjoyed planning and testing solutions during class. The course's focus on sequencing and debugging felt practical and engaging for beginners.
