The Pixel Academy is a creative space where kids and teens are immersed in state of the art digital technologies, from Virtual Reality Video Game Design to 3D Printing. The Pixel Academy encourages creativity with technology, enabling our members to develop proficiencies in a sampling of the very latest hardware and software available. We give them both the tools and the knowledge to explore and master important new skills that traditional schools aren’t able to offer.

How does it work? The Pixel Academy is a drop-in afterschool learning space. Members can visit any time we're open and either participate in our scheduled workshops or choose their own paths with the guidance of our instructors.

Every day we have multiple workshops covering different topics. Although the workshops are optional, there are benefits to sticking with what we have planned out for the day. Members who successfully complete the workshops and the challenges that follow are awarded Pixel Points (which are used to level up) and unique achievements (which let them show off the new skills they've learned.)

Our philosophy is to let kids come when they want and learn what they want. Everything we offer is educational and entertaining so they get to be the masters of their future.
