Since our start in 1997 as a summer technology camp, our instructional approach has been informed by the hundreds of thousands of hours we’ve spent teaching technology skills to kids of all ages.

Today, our latest generation of courses combines the best aspects of live instruction with the interactivity and immediacy of the Web. Based on the simple belief that human brains learn more when they’re having fun, our project-based curriculum aspires to be both engaging and academically rigorous.

Guided by our robust curriculum development model, each course features a series of increasingly complex hands-on projects. In each project, fundamental concepts are woven together so that learners make key connections as they progress. Frequent practice exercises help reinforce newly established skills, while end-of-project challenge assignments provide powerful opportunities for students to apply what they have learned in new contexts.

Our approach is the same with all of our courses: we strive to inspire kids and teens with technology while engaging them in 21st century skills such as creativity, problem solving, communication and collaboration. By taking this approach, we believe we can have an even greater impact on our student’s long-term success.
