Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to what parents ask us most.

Who is Hackingtons Online for?

Hackingtons Online is designed for kids ages 8–16 who are curious about coding, games, websites, or engineering. Some students are total beginners, others already code on their own—we meet them where they are.

Does my child need prior coding experience?

No. Many of our students start with zero experience. We place students in the right starting point and help them progress at a comfortable pace through our belt system.

What happens in the Free Child Success Meeting?

This is a short online meeting with you, your child, and one of our instructors. We’ll learn about your child’s interests, walk you through how classes work, answer questions, and recommend the best starting track (Python, web, Scratch, engineering, etc.).

How do online classes actually work?

Classes meet once per week for 70 minutes in a small group. A mentor instructor helps each student stay focused on building an individualized assignment from the Hackingtons curriculum. Students share their progress with the class in a weekly stduent showcase.

What equipment do we need at home?

A computer (Mac, Windows, or Chromebook for most tracks), a reliable internet connection, and a quiet place to work. A mouse and headset are helpful but not required. For engineering classes, we’ll let you know ahead of time if any extra hardware is needed.

Is there help outside of class time?

The Hackingtons curriculum is unique to our program and students have access to it 24/7 from home. They can submit projects for evaluation and ask questions outside of class hours.

What does membership cost and what’s included?

Membership is $140/month and includes one 70‑minute live session per week, plus access to ongoing projects and challenges. During your Child Success Meeting, we’ll go over options and any details about billing or changes.

What if my child needs to miss a class?

Life happens. If your child has to miss a session, just email us and we’ll go over options and help keep them schedule a make-up class.
