Registration for 2012 Classes Now Open!
2012 launches our next series of classes. We will begin with the introductory classes required to progress to our intermediate and advanced classes in computer programming, game design, and robotics. Classes open to students age 5-17.
No prior experience necessary. Our initial 6-week classes (below) are designed to introduce and guide you in acquiring the basic skills needed to advance. We encourage you to enroll in this pre-requisite series so you are prepared to enjoy additional classes designed to help you master skills in classes offered later. All classes are held at 'The Lab' - our 1500 D Street, SE, WDC location.
Students are given time to complete homework before classes starts. We encourage you to bring appropriate snacks. Questions? Please let us know.
