My twin sons participated in a week-long seminar put on by ACF that focused on Biology, DNA, and VR programming. The instructors were noteworthy and great at helping the students to discover answers through hands-on discovery. I was amazed at the projects my sons were able to work on in only a few days time, and am very grateful they got the opportunity to attend!

We enjoyed working with him as well. He is very motivated and hard working. He is one of those students who take time to try what he learns on his own after the class and we really enjoyed answering to him and emailing back to him!

Hi- how much of Python experience does your child have? We generally do not recommend it unless they have strong previous coding experience. Please email me at sawyer@applied-computing.org. I can give your child a challenge task. If he can do it on his own, he is more than welcome to the program. If not, I can recommend other programs to him. -
