Spruce Grove business aims to decode basic computing skills

What could be better than a video game summer camp?

A new Spruce Grove business is aiming to teach local youth basic computing skills through a series of technology-oriented “summer camps” this summer.

With hundreds of locations in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom, Code Ninjas is the world’s fastest and largest growing “kids coding franchise.” Its goal is to teach children how to code in a fun, safe, inspiring environment through a video game-based curriculum.
