About Code Wiz Colleyville

Code Wiz Colleyville is a dynamic coding and technology center offering after-school classes, camps, trial experiences, and special programs for students ages 7–17.

We believe coding is one of the most powerful ways to shape a child’s future. Our programs build technical skills while strengthening creativity, confidence, communication, and problem-solving abilities.

Our coaches are the heart of our center. They do more than teach code—they inspire curiosity, guide creativity, help students understand what they are building, and create an experience that makes families excited to continue learning with Code Wiz.

This is a hands-on teaching and family-facing position. In addition to leading classes, the instructor will welcome families, communicate with parents, conduct trial experiences, recommend appropriate learning pathways, and help trial families move forward with enrollment.

• Unity game development using C#
• Roblox Studio using Lua
• Python or Java programming
• Minecraft modding using MCreator and drag-and-drop Java tools
