This nonprofit teaches chess to students in public schools across the city and hosts more than two dozen free scholastic tournaments each year where kids can compete. Summer programs and a college-bound track support players as they grow.
Short themed day camps where kids make LEGO stop-motion films, cartoons and YouTube videos or design games in Roblox, Minecraft and 3D engines. Older campers (8-13) can also try battlebot building, music production and entrepreneurship, while 5-7 year olds get junior moviemaking, game-making and Minecraft building sessions.
Kids build math and reading skills through short, leveled worksheet assignments done a little each day, coming into the center a couple of times a week for instructor check-ins. Students move ahead as soon as they master each level, so advanced kids can work well beyond their grade.
