We enrolled our daughter in the "AI Engineering Basics: Introduction to LLMs" camp, expecting hands-on experience with LLMs and agentic AI tools as described. The course description promised work with generative AI models. The actual experience did not match this description. Much of the content felt outdated, and my daughter said the kids spent most of the time playing games rather than learning the material. We ended up pulling her out early, something we have never done with a summer camp before. When we contacted the own... read more

I can’t say enough great things about the South Austin ICODE. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and organized.

My kids have been going here for a year and haven’t learned a thing. Every time I pick them up they’re playing video games. If you’re looking for daycare I guess iCode is ok. But don’t expect them to learn a single thing about coding.

I’d caution parents before choosing this place. Many of the instructors are high schoolers, paid around $16 an hour, with only mediocre coding skills.

The management seemed more like a sales operation, pushing these overpriced courses rather than focusing on actual learning. I’d suggest finding a place where kids get real value for what you’re paying.

I don't know about other locations but this location hired a bunch of highschoolers who only knows the basic of HTML and tried to have them teach advanced levels of coding and AI Edit my post due to the owner's comment: 'iCode Austin does not employ any high school students as instructors' => Don't have trust me. You can look up on LinkedIn yourself and see a lot of highschoolers having iCode Austin lead instructors role a year or two before they enroll in college 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️
