Kids complete short, leveled math and reading worksheets each day and visit the center on scheduled days to work under instructor guidance and get graded feedback. Because each child progresses by mastery rather than grade, the program works for young beginners and advanced students alike.

Kids work in a real makerspace outfitted with 3D printers, laser cutters and electronics benches, taking on projects in robotics, coding, circuitry and design. Weekly classes build skills progressively, with small groups of six to eight per instructor.
Children build games and projects in Scratch, Minecraft and Roblox before moving on to text-based languages like Python and JavaScript, plus robotics and 3D printing. Small classes give each student plenty of instructor attention.
Students work through a personalized plan built from an initial skills assessment, getting small-group help from instructors on everything from number sense to algebra and test prep. Kids can also bring school homework to get support during sessions.
Children learn to program by building their own video games, advancing through a belt system similar to martial arts as they master new concepts. Younger kids start in a no-reading-required JR track, while older kids move into game design with real coding languages.
Kids use Minecraft, Roblox and game engines as a gateway to coding, then branch into stop-motion, cinematography, CAD, robotics and electronics in project-based lessons. The studio runs weekly summer camps, seasonal after-school lessons and workshops on school days off.
Kids take weekly after-school math classes grouped by grade, working through a demanding curriculum that stresses logic, persistence and problem solving, from early elementary through high school. A competition track is available for students who want extra challenge.
