Humble Beginnings in Dekalb County, Georgia
Officially founded in 2016, we began as an in school coding and graphic design program at Stone Mountain Middle School.

Currently, we service the metro Atlanta area by providing educational outlets and resources to schools, community centers, and government agencies. Our curriculum is focused on technology: coding and robotics; and art: dance.
