Our Mission-Changing Lives
Writing computer programs can be a very satisfying personal experience and lead to a rewarding high-tech career.
We believe that children can learn computer programming at grade and middle school ages, and that their lives can be
changed in a positive way through the self-confidence gained from the mastery of computer programming skills and
programming as an after-school activity. The skills learned at WTS will equip children to compete in an increasingly
flat world and prepare them for high-paying jobs that await both High School and College graduates in computer programming.
U.S. Technology Leadership
Only 26% of U.S. high schools require computer programming courses, and computer programming instruction is not offered in
public grade or middle schools.
|
We are unique in our approach to teaching children these skills before they typically get
turned off to science in their early teens. This is a time when girls are particularly susceptible to opt-out. U.S.
technology leadership is at risk, and a shortage of one million programmers is predicted over the next ten years.
Customizable Approach
We offer flexible, individually customized learning schedules in a small classroom setting. Transportation can be
arranged and tuition assistance may be available based on family needs.
Classes are conducted in a safe, modern
office building facility, where students are able to work on powerful, state-of-the-art Apple iMac computers.
Lessons writing game and real-life robot programs that utilize object-oriented programming techniques are designed
to keep the students' interest and stimulate their imaginations and creative talents. |
