The Parent App helps you manage your Ninja’s sessions with ease:
Step 1: Wait for your Ninja to complete their first session. You will receive an email titled:
Step 2: Create a Home Access Passcode Your child will need to create a unique passcode to log in safely.
Step 3: Log In
Step 4: Create a Community Profile Your Ninja will pick a fun, anonymous identity (e.g., Bold Coral Coder 570) to keep them safe while interacting online.
Step 5: Start Coding! Your child will review and agree to the Community Guidelines, pledging to be kind, respectful, and a good digital citizen every time they log in.
To keep all Ninjas safe and ensure smooth transitions between sessions:
At Code Ninjas, we use a structured Belt System to guide your Ninja’s coding journey. Each belt builds new programming and game-development skills in a fun and motivating way.
