Why program?

It teaches critical thinking skills with an element of creativity that is unmatched in any subject. The longer term benefits are substantial - college admissions recognize the rarity of high school programmers and the job demand has never been higher.

How is it fun?

We provide challenging yet achievable projects that pertain to each student's individual interests. The outcome of each session is a fun game or story that the proud student can show off to their parents.

What do we teach?

There are several programming languages specifically designed for kids aged 10-15. Scratch allows for drag-and-drop programming to immediately create fun games and stories. When the student is ready, we transition to a more traditional programming language such as Java.
