Code Wiz Learning Center In FishHawk Celebrates Ribbon-cutting

Coding for kids has gained popularity rapidly in recent years as technology becomes increasingly part of everyday life. Children who learn to code when they’re young can set themselves up for a lifetime of success.

Local residents Reggie and April Moore’s son has a great passion for gaming and designing on computers. His parents saw the opportunity to leverage that interest into learning the valuable skill of coding. Unable to identify any local resources, the two decided to research new businesses that would enable them to bring coding classes to their community.

The Moores later came across Code Wiz, and with April’s background in education and Reggie’s technology expertise, the two found the ideal opportunity. Unlike other coding programs, Code Wiz utilizes a Montessori-style approach and classes are project-based, allowing students to explore at their own pace while building confidence and interest.

Code Wiz FishHawk was excited to celebrate its opening alongside the Valrico FishHawk Chamber of Commerce with a ribbon-cutting on January 27.

Code Wiz FishHawk is located at 16132 Churchview Dr., Ste. 105 in Lithia. For more information, visit its website at https://thecodewiz.com/fishhawk-fl.
