HOW WE PACK SO MUCH AWESOME INTO EACH DAY AND WEEK
PROGRAMS: OPTIONS TO MEET YOUR NEEDS
All of our virtual programs run in four-week sessions. New sessions kick-off each week, so your child can begin as early as next week.
EXPLORE
This program is ideal for working parents that need to have two or four hours per day of reliably uninterrupted time, and for children who would like to explore a wide range of learning topics and find what most ignites their passion.
Students join us five days a week, Monday through Friday, with each class meeting for two hours each day. We offer six different times each day 9am-9pm ET / 6am-6pm PT, so you can choose a time that works best for you and your child.
Once your child is assigned to class, he or she will meet at that same time each day, with the same group of students and the same instructors. Each week, the class will focus on one of our topics, with the initial options including Digital Arts — Animation, Digital Arts — 3D Sculpting, Computer Aided Design — TinkerCad, Coding – Scratch and Coding – Python. In this way, students are exposed to four different topics during the session.
Outside of class time, students have unlimited access to our online learning platform, TalentBox, so they can continue learning and working on their digital movie, code or others projects while enrolled.
This program option includes phone, email, chat and webinar-based technical support so we can get your child up and learning smoothly.
