Hawthorne school

We are passionate about making a difference in our local community, and we are proud to partner with Hawthorne Ave Elementary School in Newark to facilitate after-school programming sessions. Our curriculum is designed to augment the programming proficiency of the youth in Newark, and we aim to inspire a lifelong love of learning through creative lessons.


We use a unique curriculum that centers on Scratch, a beginner-friendly visual programming language that allows children to create interactive stories, games, and animations. We also introduce children to the world of drones, providing them with hands-on experience in programming them.
