Why the integrated multidisciplinary approach with soft skills and playfulness? We believe that the Sciences, Technology, Engineering, and Math disciplines inform each other and should not be siloed, but taught together. Art is the bridge and the border between the finite and knowable, and the infinite and unknowable and aids students with their inquiry process.
In an era of AI and increasing automation of future jobs, what could be more necessary than Art? Your style, your ideas, your creativity are paramount because they involve abstract thinking that can connect disparate parts of your experience to form novel solutions to today’s and tomorrow’s problems.
For our children, our budding future scientists, technologists, engineers, and professionals of all stripes, nothing could be more important than being taught in a fun integrated fashion that releases their inner child.
Go on – Take a look, and release your inner child now!
The issue is not to teach [a child] the sciences, but to give him the taste for loving them.
Game & App Design 1 & 2 Mon 4PM-5PM, Wed 3PM-4PM
RM B16
Grades 5-8
This class is the 1st and 2nd introductory programming courses for those with no experience with JavaScript. We focus on some basic concepts in computer science using drawing animations to learn about variables, strings, functions, logic, and looping. This course spans the full winter quarter from Jan to Mar.
All of our classes meet 2X per week.
This implements our mini university concept. We aim to reach beyond topical knowledge. At the middle school level, we aim to delve more deeply to provide greater mastery, and believe that class should meet 2X per week just as in university for proper explanation, exploration and retention. Our classes are taught by local university(Stanford and Santa Clara) graduate students and PhD’s, and local industry professionals.

RM B16
Grades 5-8
This class is the 3rd and 4th in a series of programming courses for returning students with 2 previous quarters of Game & App Design classes(2 quarters), and introduces more advanced computer science concepts like universal Turing machines, and P vs NP problems and using Javascript and animations focuses on writing clean code, arrays, objects, object oriented design, using pseudo code, and introduces elements of game design through designing classic games like Asteroids. This course is suitable for students with previous Javascript experience or previous students from Game and App Design 1, and 2. This course spans the full winter quarter from Jan to Mar.
