Parents want a coding curriculum by grade, not a random YouTube starter pack. Use this as a placement map, then read the live syllabus tables on each course page.
Grade map (US Grades 3–12)
| Grades | Start here | Syllabus | Then |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3–5 | Scratch | Scratch syllabus | Python with AI when typing is easy |
| 5–8 | Python with AI or Web | Python · Web | Creative AI or robotics |
| 3–8 (creative AI) | AI in Everyday Life | AI Everyday syllabus | Python or web |
| 8–12 | Hands-on AI & LLMs | AI Expert syllabus | Portfolio apps |
| 3–12 (hardware) | Robotics | Robotics syllabus | 30 sessions · hardware → coding → projects |
Financial literacy and entrepreneurship exist as extra tracks after the core coding and AI path — they are not the first booking for most families. When you are ready, start with What is financial literacy for kids?, then the Financial Literacy and Entrepreneurship syllabuses.
How we place a child
- Trial: 60 minutes live with a mentor
- Check grade, typing, and what they already built
- Pick one syllabus — not five courses at once
- Revisit at the end of a module (for example after Scratch games)
Mentors who map grade to track
Badal Kumar teaches coding foundations and Scratch. Sampriti Raha helps beginners into Python. Ankit Singh mentors web and early AI projects.
GeekashramJr is live online worldwide. US families start at USA classes and US pricing. Also available in the UK, UAE, India, Canada, Australia, and Singapore — pick another country for local times.
Do not pick a language from a chart alone. Book the first 60-minute live session ($3, adjusted on enrolment). Other countries pay that same session in their currency, then compare live coding plans in USD.
