Designing and coding video games is something we believe any child with a computer and desire to learn is capable of doing. In summary our mission is to teach coding and computer science to children K-12 and introduce them to new ways to problem solve and explore curiosity and creativity. We do this because we feel strongly that this learning style will help them grow into better problem solvers who dont give up when given a challenge but instead embrace it as an opportunity.
Embrace mistakes: Evidence suggests during initial learning students retain more information if theyre 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.
