Educational Value

Gigalearn provides hands-on Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM) camps and afterschool clubs & classes including computer programming, game coding, robotics, and electric art for elementary, middle school and high school students. You'll mostly find us out in the community, hosted by our partners at schools, community centers, and public libraries, but we also offer online classes, homeschool visits, and curriculum support. Our lesson plans are rooted in academic standards and built to help students build computational, logical thinking while having fun in small class sizes (typically 1:12 instructor: student ratio) that foster investigative, inquisitive learning and creative and computational thinking skills that will help them succeed in future careers whether or not they go into a STEAM field. Gigalearn believes in experiential learning, so students learn robotics by building them with programmable LEGO kits, or wiring them up with Arduino Microprocessors and electronic components. They experience engineering by making pop-up greeting cards with circuits that light up with LEDs and copper tape, and they build computer coding skills by designing and developing video games using Scratch, Python, HTML, JavaScript and more... Registration is often provided through our community partner host such as Lakewood Recreation & Community Education, Orange Community Education & Recreation, Broadview Heights Recreation Department, City of Bedford Parks & Recreation, Cuyahoga Community College (for youth summer camps only), Mandel Jewish Community Center, Lakewood Public Library, Cuyahoga County Public Library and many more. Some out of school time camps, particularly spring break and winter break camps may be hosted by Gigalearn directly, and will require direct payment which families can file for reimbursement.
