Code Ninjas, a martial arts-themed coding center that teaches children to code through the use of video games, will open May 20 at 9911 Brodie Lane, Ste. 650, Austin. This will be the first Austin location for the Houston-based company.

Co-owned by Regina Melo and her husband, Gerry Olmos, Code Ninjas' services are geared toward kids between the ages of 7 and 14. Participants will start out as "white belts" and eventually become coding "black belts" while building apps and taking on other coding projects. 512-522-0707. www.codeninjas.com
