Our Mission
"Every child learns computational thinking. Programming is the new language that should be introduced to children at early age in this digital world. Children learn to create the technology not just users of the technology. Starting in primary school, children should have the opportunity to: learn some of the key ideas of computer science; understand computational thinking; learn to program; and have the opportunity to progress to the next level of excellence in these activities."
Our "Computer class" is not about teaching kids to use today's software; our classes are about teaching kids to make tomorrow's software.
Unique way of teaching programming. Well planned classes. Hands-on programming through which they see results right away. We focus on teaching programming in a practical way with less focus on theory.
Small student to teacher ratio (6:1)
Our teachers are experienced computer professionals who have worked at esteemed corporations and have education in computer science at esteemed universities.
We teach Programming as a storytelling medium. We want students to develop literacy skills and share narratives in new ways. Programming provides students with the opportunity to express themselves while developing skills and abilities they didn’t know they had.
These creative opportunities are essential for them to succeed during the school day and later in life.
Most of the time, children think there is an exact step you have to take to get to an end. With our programming classes, students will learn that they need to try different things and experiment a little bit. This hands-on discovery can be an eye-opening experience for students. But more importantly, the whole idea of exploring through trial and error is a real life skill with which students need to achieve proficiency.
Convenient location and after school programs.
It is very important for us that kids learn in a positive environment with lot of positive feedback. Children will learn more when they feel comfortable in an environment where they are not afraid to make mistakes and get positive reinforcement for every small improvement. Every child has their own learning style and we will make sure we will account for that. We are not an online course that treats all kids equal.
Our teachers who have worked in real world developing software are very passionate about teaching programming to children in a fun environment. There are practically no programming classes from real professionals for kids who are serious about learning computer programming. Kids can learn programming and create their own games, websites and apps.
Kids will do a project at the end where they learn to work collaboratively in a team environment.
