Online Class with Tech Academy

  (Chromebooks, Tablets, and phones typically DO NOT Work.)

We may cancel the class if minimums are not met 6 Business DAYS before the start date. We need this time to provide the best camp experience for all our students. 

Our virtual camps feature engaging interactive instruction in a collaborative learning environment. For each session, students will also be given access to our online classroom, which will feature recordings of the lessons and a curriculum guide with all the steps covered in class, along with instructions for project extensions. To protect students’ privacy, we do not share videos of the actual classes, but we will have follow-along recordings reviewing the instructions and activities done in class.
