Teachers: Register your kids today! Need Help? We'll come to your classroom setup our portable computer lab and conduct a 30 minute starter workshop to get you and your kids ready to compete.

Animate it! Design it! Program it! Play it! LEARN it! Kids will learn important mathematical and computational ideas such as coordinates, variables, and random numbers, how to create interactive stories, animations, games, music, art, and start to think creatively, and reason systematically.

Companies and Organizations: Want to setup a table at the November 20th event? Contact us for more details and to reserve your spot. No cost, but space is limited to sign up today.

About us: "Our mission is to ensure that all children—especially those at risk of being left behind—have the resources and the opportunities they need to grow up healthy and lead productive lives. "  As the benefits of information and digital technology continue to grow, there are still thousands of children and families in Corpus Christi who are severely disadvantaged because they do not have a computer or internet access in the home or the skills to use them effectively. Help us make a difference. Teach your child the skils they need to succeed!
