Our Story
Smart Kids Coding was founded by Susan Wu in 2020. We developed one of the most comprehensive Computer Science programs in the Asia - USA market.
After more than 2 years teaching kids coding, we developed specialized kids' programming curriculum with an international team. This makes our programs accessible to children in China, the UK, Singapore and the USA. Through bridging students in China to those living in the USA, our globalized classes aim to inspire children in their development of creativity, international perspectives, and open mindedness. In addition, we strive to ensure students enjoy class whilst learning and making friends by interacting with their peers.
Our founder, Susan Wu and Rick Smith, have over 15 years of working experience in reputable IT firms. These include, but are not limited to: Dell, Microsoft, and HP - where they were technical consultants, delivering large scale IT projects to top companies and governments across the Asia Pacific. Before moving to Singapore, Susan was a Physics lecturer in a well-known University in China.
Programming opens many doors in future proof, high demand areas such as Software Engineering, Data Analytics, Machine Learning and Engineering. Coding is a basic literacy in the digital age, and it is important for kids to learn and understand it so that they develop a greater understanding of the technology around them. Educating children on coding at an early age enables them to be well prepared for the future.
