Our Offerings

Scratch

Learn the fundamentals of coding creating games and animated stories. Scratch was developed by MIT specifically to introduce coding to children, and our curriculum navigates students through increasingly challenging projects.

Ages 6-9

Minecraft

Using Minecraft Education Edition, kids learn the fundamentals of coding by programming their own games. Students create objects, mazes, and more. Use Minecraft Education Edition to maximize learning, not just playing.

Ages 6-9

Python

Our Python program is rigorous but beginner friendly. Introduction to Computer Science, AI, Machine Learning, Data Science, and Networking classes.

Ages 8-18

Javascript

Harness children's creative energy with a game design class using Javascript. Here, variables, functions, and loops are interwoven into a project-based curriculum. Students create web games while learning the basic concepts of coding.

Ages 9-13

Roblox

Using Lua scripting language and Roblox Studio, students learn how to apply their coding knowledge to create unique customizations in the Roblox universe.

Ages 13-18

Robotics Competition Teams

There are two levels based on age & experience: First Lego League (FLL) for ages 9-14, which uses Lego Robot kits, and First Tech Challenge (FTC) for ages 12-18 which uses metal pieces, nuts & bolts, motors & servos to build "real" robots.

Ages 9-14

ACSL

Students and professionals compete with each other on solving computer programming challenges. Some competitions can be completed in a couple hours, and some take days and weeks to solve.

Ages 9-18

Ages 5-18

Mobile App Development

Learn project management in our advanced capstone class, complete with 1:1 mentorship. Learn Swift and Xcode to build real mobile apps, or complete a web or data science project.

Ages 13-18

  • “My son's instructor was very patient and detailed as this was my son's first coding class. She took the time to find out what he wanted to create, and in some instances, to explain to him when/why something didn’t work and how to get it to work.”

    -Peta-Gaye D. (Rosedale, NY)

  • “Our daughter really enjoys the Minecraft class, especially with Dong Mei. We like that the classes are small allowing for the kids to get to know one another and to build a relationship with the instructor.”

    -Linh V. (Lexington, MA)
