Whether your child dreams of designing the next big video game, coding a futuristic app, or piloting drones like a pro, they’ll get real-world experience with cutting-edge technology in a fun and supportive environment. Led by expert instructors who are passionate about inspiring the next generation of tech leaders, our interactive programs build confidence, creativity, and critical thinking—skills that will set them up for success in today’s digital world.
With a constantly evolving lineup of hands-on classes, students never run out of opportunities to create, experiment, and innovate. We have a variety of program needs for children of all ages including Science and Robotics (ages 4-12), Teen Tech (Grades 6-8), and Coding Camp (High School Students).
