Lisa S.

"My 7 year old son just completed the LEGO camp.  It was fantastic! Well organized, very engaging and the instructor was supportive of my son's desires to share with the class throughout the session. First thing my son asked after class on Friday, "can I do that again?""

Sanem E.

"This is by far the best coding program!  My kids learned a lot in their coding camps and developed further interest in coding. "

Serena E.

"The camps have been fantastic. Kevin, Tenzin, and Elias are really great. Their patience with kids and making sure all the kids are able to participate is truly amazing."
