Create

From a fun and engaging curriculum to stellar online learning modules we do it all

Teach

We teach programming fundamentals, intro to web development, and more

Repeat

Classes are taught weekly and we are always continuing to expand our curriculum and learning labs
What we make
Our dev team develops online modules called Learning Labs that each focus on a specific topic in computer science, such as CNNs, cryptography, and password security. Through interactive activities and visuals, our Learning Labs aim to make complicated concepts easy to digest!

What we teach Depending on the group of students and their coding backgrounds, we shape the class to maximize their learning. Topics that students have learned in the past include programming fundamentals (in Python or Scratch) and intro to web development (in HTML/CSS), as well as complex topics like machine learning and mobile app development.

We’re looking to expand our set of topics: data science, game development, digital art, you name it - if you're interested, get in touch!

Ingredients of "Cipher Salad" by Rachel, Leo, Janis, and Lisha
We prepared Cipher Salad in collaboration with ACM Cyber and CityLab at UCLA as an introductory cryptography mini lesson for students of all ages. Cryptography is one of those subjects that can intimidate even a college CS student (ourselves included!), but it’s an important part of CS, and we wanted to make it accessible to as many people as possible.
