At STEAM for Teens and STEAM to Kids, we know what it takes to enhance our students’ education. It’s a life experience. Find out what sets us apart. We believe in Play and Learn. People learn most by having fun and playing. Let's have fun together to learn new technologies!

Why should you learn how to code? Because it pays well? Because you'll look smarter?

The truth is, those reasons alone won't justify the hours you'll spend on cool side-projects after you learn how to code.

So what's the real reason why you should learn how to code?

It's simply because programming is FUN! It is fun to solve problems. We believe having an "Aha" moment is the key to this. STEAM education can give it to you. This is why STEAM works.

We'll teach you the joy of programming through game development. Unity, Blender and Roblox are great tools to get you started. It's easy to learn and can make some amazing new entertainment experiences.

First, let's start creating some simple games and 3D art. You'll naturally learn important coding skills along the way.

Computers are fascinating. Game development is captivating.

We made programming fun.

Join us and let's develop some awesomeness together!

[5-days] Online Enrichment 3D Animation Workshop ★★★★★

My son enjoys learning how to code. The virtual setting is perfect. I can hear the enthusiasm in his voice when he talks to me about this course. His instructor is very polite. He listens and offers to help if and when my son has questions. I think it's important to make a learning environment a fun environment and this is definitely fun. I also love the fact there are only.2 students in this course, so that if they need a one on one assistance, the assistance is there. My son will continue with this course if there's an advanced level of it.

This is an excellent class. We are always hoping to find something that can draw the interest from a kid to serious things and this is it! My kid plays more usually but now he studies more on how to write something he was playing.

My son made me promise to review this class to make sure that everyone knows how great it is. This is the first class that I've ever seen him be ready for on his own with no extra reminders. He got to learn some 3D animation and he got to work with a teacher who was able to challenge him and keep him focused. Between what he accomplished with the knowledge and how engaged he was, plus his sheer enjoyment of it, I would definitely recommend this class and instructor!

Steam for Teens is awesome. Period! The instructor is very knowledgeable and passionate about his craft. He is patient and care about my son's progress. After the second class, my son could already model a very cute French bulldog with movable legs! Thanks Aoki! Btw he was the artist behind some very popular games at Nintendo! What else is better than learning from a professional?

My 11 year old daughter LOVED this class. I was a little worried signing her up because she hates Zoom classes and can sometimes have a limited attention span. However, she eagerly went to each 2 hour class & was so excited afterwards to show me everything she did. She was engaged & learned so much. We'll definitely be signing up for more classes!

STEAM FOR TEENS

STEAM Edutainment for the Next Generation Creators

STEAM for Teens offers STEM classes for Teens. We have provided classes to create games to lead students to STEM education at Environmental and Adventure School in Kirkland since 2017. We use Blender and Unity to make that possible. (Blender is a fully equipped 3D tool to make models and animations for games. Unity is the leading global game industry software to create games. 34% of top 1000 free mobile games are made with Unity). Students will inspire themselves by enjoying creating their own games as well as learning C# programming.

Our curriculum is designed to be fun to experience as if students are playing a game. We believe the students should have fun to learn! Students will learn the basic game creation with Unity in the first few classes. Then they will be able to work on more complex projects with their creativities.

Interactive art courses and wearable computer courses are on their way to come!
