FREE & FUN HIGH-TECH PROGRAM

Our mission is to inspire the next generation of designers, creators and engineers.

Each student will develop her own video game through a guided program, demonstrating the education-to-career transition.

This beginner-friendly curriculum offers flexibility and can adapt to varying coding skill levels.
