Let us help prepare your child to apply computing concepts to address real-world problems. Our project-based curriculum will have your child work in teams to discover, design, build, and code the machines that help us in our daily lives. From windmills to traffic lights to lunar rovers, our curriculum will allow hands-on discovery into how they work, leveraging materials such as Lego Spike, as appropriate for the students’ age range.

Our projects are not only designed to follow Computer Science standards, but also to be enjoyable and engaging for children.
