Hello!

We’re excited to share that our Code Ninjas location has been selected as an open casting call location for SCHOOLED, a new Netflix series from Mark Rober (CrunchLabs). This creates a unique opportunity for local kids to audition at our locations to have their submissions shared straight to the show’s casting director.

SCHOOLED is a national Netflix competition series from Mark Rober where teams of kids aged 9 to 17 use creativity, engineering, and problem-solving to tackle real-world challenges.

Your local Leawood Code Ninja location will be hosting in-person events where kids can come in and record a video on-site with our team to show the producers your kid’s personality! This gives local kids a chance to get in front of the casting directors alongside the official application here: https://www.crunchlabsacademy.com/

Casting Session Details:

· Dates/Times: April 20th and 21st from 4pm to 8pm

· Location: 3622 West 135th St Leawood, KS 66224

· Phone Number: 913 444 9448

Students selected for the show will travel to Los Angeles, CA from June 22 – July 17 for 3–4 weeks of filming, with all travel, accommodation, meals, and transportation fully covered, plus $2,000/week. A parent or guardian is required to attend.

We are encouraging kids who will be between the ages of 9–17 during filming with an interest in creativity, engineering, or problem-solving to participate.

This is a rare opportunity for kids from our local community to be involved with a fun opportunity! We would greatly appreciate your help sharing this opportunity with your students, families, and community networks to in Leawood too!
