Mission Statement

To teach coding and computer science to children, K-12, and introduce them to new ways to problem solve and explore curiosity and creativity.

What We Do

We are creating a generation of problem solvers and innovators through coding and computer science principles.

The Approach

  • Embrace mistakes: Evidence suggests during initial learning students retain more information if they’re given the freedom to make mistakes. Encourage them to learn and grow in confidence through mistakes as they seek an answer.
  • Enjoy learning: Learning and problem solving can be fun through creative activities like coding and game design.
  • Explore computer science: Computer science is a powerful medium in which students can express themselves to solve challenges in unique ways to enhance their creativity and problem.
