Hey 👋 I'm Rafid Hoda
I started building games when I was 9 years old.
Today I teach kids how to build their own games so they can become creators instead of just consumers.
Since 2017, I have taught over 1,000 kids how to code. My online courses have also reached more than 30,000 students worldwide through platforms like Coursera, Udemy, and freeCodeCamp.
At Hoda Camps, kids aged 8 to 12 learn how to design, build, and publish their own Roblox games, even if they have never used a computer before.
My goal is simple. Help kids realize that technology is not just something you consume. It is something you can create.
What parents say
"Felix loves Roblox, and at Roblox Studio Camp he got to learn how to build games himself."
He went from consuming on the iPad to creating his own games on the PC. The kids worked in Roblox Studio, learned simple coding and built features themselves.
He looked forward to every day, made new friends and came home full of ideas.
For us this was absolutely worth every penny.
Kine SæterenParent"Elizabeth thought this year's Roblox Camp was much better than last year's."
She loved working on the PC in Roblox Studio and is already looking forward to making her own games. She has started writing down ideas for games she wants to build.
What made the biggest impression on us was that you really saw each child. It was more than just a coding course.
Mairita DzirkaleParent"Thank you so much for a great course."
The kids have learned a lot, and you really managed to keep them engaged all week.
It has been so nice to follow along and see how much fun they had. We parents also really appreciate how well you kept us updated.
Kristoffer FlottorpParent"Thank you for giving the children a safe and educational introduction to coding and design."
Sofie has had nothing but good experiences to tell us about at home.
She already has plans for further game development, so we will need to get her a PC soon.

Yes, your child needs access to a laptop to build games in Roblox Studio. You have three options: 1) Use your own laptop that can run Roblox Studio. 2) Rent a Hoda Computer during camp. 3) Buy a Hoda Computer. All options work — choose what fits your family best.
Yes. If you already have a laptop that can run Roblox Studio, we can set up Hoda OS on it. We create a separate user for your child. Windows still works normally for the rest of the family. This is the most affordable option if you already have a suitable laptop.
Hoda OS is not a new operating system. It's a program and setup that sits on top of Windows. Your child gets a simple, safe and focused user account. We set up the machine so kids can use Roblox Studio and the tools they need without getting distracted. We turn the computer into a creation machine, not just a consumption machine.
You can rent a Hoda Computer during camp for 2000 kr. The machine is ready to use. A simple and safe solution for one week.
