New Code Ninjas centre launches in St Albans, UK with free coding event for young coders

Code Ninjas has opened a new children’s coding centre in St Albans, marking the occasion with a "Gaming Extravaganza" on 29th September. 

The event, which will be held at St Columba’s College, offers activities like video game creation and coding workshops for children aged 5-14.

The centre, co-owned by Meha Meghani, aims to replicate the success of the Borehamwood location. “We’ve seen amazing results at our Borehamwood centre, and now we’re excited to bring that to the St Albans community,” said Meghani. 

“Parents have been eagerly asking when we’d bring Code Ninjas to St Albans, and I’m thrilled to say that day has finally arrived! This new dojo will be a hub of creativity, learning and fun for young coders in the area.”

Code Ninjas provides a platform for young learners to develop coding skills using languages like JavaScript, Lua, and C#.

Focus on developing STEM and coding skills

“At Code Ninjas, kids don’t just learn to code – they develop critical problem-solving skills, enhance their creativity and imagination and build confidence through hands-on projects,” Meghani explained. “Our programme also encourages teamwork and collaboration, essential skills for their future.”

The event runs from 10 am to 3 pm, and families can register online for the free experience. Visitors will also have the opportunity to receive exclusive perks by signing up on the day.

The St Albans launch follows the opening of Code Ninjas in Borehamwood, where children who had little to no experience with coding have gone on to develop their own games and express an interest in technology careers. The approach to learning helps children build confidence while giving them the tools needed for future academic and professional success.

Meghani added, “I can’t wait for families to experience how coding can unlock new possibilities for their children. Our ‘Gaming Extravaganza’ is an experience not to be missed!”
