The tech business world continues to explode across our lives, seeping into every corner of daily existence. Robotics and Game Development are forming our future in medicine and all walks of life. Young people who desire a secure and in-demand profession, allowing for creative thought, are flocking to educational services that offer sophisticated, deep training in Computer Science, Coding, and Electronics.

YoungWonks is at the cutting edge of this educational field. Based in the heart of Silicon Valley, California, YW’s bricks-and-mortar school offers Bay Area teens the guidance and encouragement to visualize and create new products in a variety of disciplines, using a 4-step approach in their instruction:

*  Demonstrate to the student what technology can do
*  Encourage the student to explore how technology did what it can do
*  Explain to the student how the thing occurred
*  Once the concept is understood, assign creative projects to apply the knowledge gained

The Online Division of YoungWonks offers the same instruction in computer coding (formerly known as computer programming) to students from all over the world. The 5 levels of the classes provided in the in-person division are also offered in the Online Division, in 4-week increments. The Online section offers a 1:1 teacher-student ratio, while the in-person section offers a 4:1 teacher-student ratio, ensuring that each student receives the prime attention necessary to achieve their highest level of success.

All of the faculty of YoungWonks possess bachelor’s or master’s degrees in computer science, engineering, and other disciplines. Students from YW have been admitted to prestigious institutions such as MIT, Stanford, Caltech, and Berkeley, among others.
