theCoderSchool to Open First Michigan Location

The new school is located at 41624 Ann Arbor Rd. in Plymouth and is owned by Rajan, a Michigan native, and Krupa Patel, who now live in the area with their family.

“We couldn’t be more excited to bring theCoderSchool to our community,” Rajan said. “We wholeheartedly believe in the mission and importance of coding for generations to come, and we’re fortunate to have partnered with a team that shares our passion.”

The couple first learned about theCoderSchool when they saw a friend’s child attend an existing location. After learning more, they saw how valuable offering coding education would be for kids in their community and that there wasn’t anything like it in the area. They then decided to follow their dreams of opening their own business with theCoderSchool.

“Coding is the future for many careers in every industry,” added Krupa. “We believe that every child should have the opportunity to pursue their passions while learning valuable, future-building coding skills.”

Founded by Hansel Lynn and incubated with the help of his best friend, Wayne Teng, theCoderSchool was built with the desire to provide children aged 7 to 18 years with a welcoming environment to develop computer programming skills. theCoderSchool uses a variety of platforms to teach various coding languages, such as HTML, CSS, Python, Javascript and more. Every Code Coaching lesson is customized with the help of trained Code Coaches® who use a 2-on-1 approach to teaching.

“As we continue to expand our presence throughout the country, it’s critical to find the right franchise partners who are truly passionate about setting kids up with a positive, life-long relationship with technology and coding,” added Lynn. “This is why we couldn’t be more excited about our partnership with Rajan and Krupa. They are passionate about our mission, and we are confident the new community will see just how fun learning to code can be.”

Founded in 2014 and franchising since 2016, theCoderSchool, a Silicon Valley-based children’s enterprise franchise, provides computer programming lessons to children ages 7 to 18. Recently identified as one of Entrepreneur magazine’s hottest brands, theCoderSchool has over 35 schools operating in 16 states and continues to expand its national footprint with several locations in development in major U.S. and Canadian markets.
