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 (fka computer programming) to students from everywhere in the world. The 5 levels of classes offered in the in-person division are also offered in the Online Division, in 4-week increments. The Online section offers a teacher-student ratio of 1:1; the in-person section offers a 4:1 teacher-student ratio, ensuring that each student receives the prime attention necessary to achieve his/her highest level of success.
All of the faculty of YoungWonks possess bachelor or master’s degrees in computer science, engineering and other disciplines. Students of YW have been admitted to MIT, Stanford, CalTech and Berkeley, among other institutions of higher learning.
