Learn about a new “superpower” that isn’t being taught in 90% of US schools.Starring Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, will.i.am, Chris Bosh, Jack Dorsey, Tony Hsieh, Drew Houston, Gabe Newell, Ruchi Sanghvi, Elena Silenok, Vanessa Hurst, and Hadi Partovi.Computing, now a part of schooling around the world, is becoming a crucial element to a rounded STEM education. Just as learners are equipped with an elementary understanding of math and science; it is not because they will all become mathematicians and physicists, but because of the relevance it has to everyday life. The development of key transferable skills like computational thinking helps improve thinking and problem-solving skills across many fields. Today’s young people have grown up with technology all around them and are developing a deep understanding of how to use it from a very young age. But despite these advantages, there is also an ever-increasing requirement for them to understand how technology works today to become the digital creators of tomorrow.

As of now, we offer our classes in Needham, MA, and Online.  The classroom is outfitted with all the required equipment such as computers, different robots, and all the tools for kids and teenagers to be able to learn and interact with the latest technology.

Our classes are generally grouped by age, however, we may allow younger students to join older students if they already successfully completed previous coursework. Our teachers are trained to work with each child individually and to develop expectations for each child based on their prior knowledge, their goals, and motivation.

Anyone can write code! Most of our courses and activities are designed for kids ages 7 – 14, but you know your child best. Children who can read and understand cause-and-effect relationships are perfect candidates to start coding. Older students can quickly progress through the basics of programming to take advantage of our open-ended creativity tools that allow them to create games and animated projects.

Coding teaches the fundamentals of programming, including repetition, conditionals, variables, and functions. Students also learn how to tell a good story, logically sequence events, and model real situations. They increase their technical proficiency and confidence. In addition, they learn computational thinking by developing their algorithmic and design thinking abilities.

Absolutely! We teach the fundamentals of programming, which translate to all mainstream programming languages. With us, kids will learn the same concepts found in other languages like Java and Python, such as variables, loops, conditionals, and functions. More importantly, we teach logic and design thinking skills, which are necessary to think like aprogrammer and adapt to a world of constantly changing technology.
