"iCode Memorial is a fabulous location for students to have a positive online experience - learning and working with others in Minecraft, YouTube productions, Engineering, Robotics, Coding and more! So many children (including mine) are very receptive to learning and socializing while doing electronics and using computers. The owner, Jan, invites all students, usually from 6-14 years old, and is also so welcoming to my neurodiverse son! Other friends with neurodiverse children who have attended iCode, have said the same. Our son loves iCode Memorial and asks to go back all the time! Jan also wo"
