Hi Everyone, we’re happy to announce that sign-ups have begun for the spring 2019 semester.

We’re hosting two classes again. One is a beginner class using MIT’s Scratch programming language, and the other is an advanced course using the game development platform Unity.

Once again, each class only has room for ten students, so sign up fast to guarantee your kid's spot!

Hello Everybody!

We’re excited to let you know that sign-ups have begun for the fall semester.

This year we'll be switching things up a little and hosting two classes: an introduction course using the visual programming language Scratch developed by MIT and an advanced course where students will learn how to use Unity 3D, a popular game development platform. The theme for the fall semester is game design and programming.

Each class only has room for ten students, so act fast to guarantee a spot!
