How we teach you
We believe there are 3 pillars to a modern education.
Hands-on experience
Having direct, hands-on experience allows you to create cool stuff, plain and simple. This type of training is generally taught in trade and vocational schools or on-the-job training.
Understanding fundamentals
Fundamentals allow you to understand the laws of the universe and how the world around us works. This type of theory is the focus of most college and university courses.
Problem solving skills
Structured problem solving skills and tools allow you to take what you’ve learned about the world and create something unique to solve a problem. We feel this is one of the most valuable skills in STEM.
