learning has lost its shine

Students feelings the pressure of grades, competition, and college have lost the ability to enjoy the learning process.

Everyone learns differently

Large classrooms can’t accommodate the range of learning styles.

Students lose interest fast

Stuck learning something that doesn’t excite them, students don’t dig in deeper.

No space for curiosity

Textbooks and lectures keep your mind limited to thinking inside a box.

Built-in flexibility

Students learn concepts as they attempt to bring imagined games to life, not because a lesson plan says so.

We are brothers, one who's always loved to code, and another who let his older brother convince him to start just last year.

Carter - Lead Tutor

I develop games and build out curriculums to teach them. I first learned to code in high school but have continued to pursue my interests in computer science outside the classroom. I have taken numerous online courses on my own and built games and websites for fun. I’m in my second year at Haverford College in Pennsylvania studying neuroscience and philosophy while playing Division 3 basketball. I have goals of attending medical school in a few years.

Brandon - Game developer

I develop games that are going to be taught in the future and research new tools to teach our students. I also learned to code in high school but have only dove into Unity game development in the past couple years taking self-guided courses online. I’m a Junior at Lawrenceville School in New Jersey with interests in engineering and physics while playing on the varsity waterpolo team.
