Learn the basics, then build the thing
Every student who works with us is matched with a mentor. Where you start depends on what you have done before: students new to computer science begin with course-based tutoring, and students ready to make something go straight to project mentorship.
At one of our venues
Sessions run at Tesseract-partnered venues throughout the city, at libraries, and at afterschool programs. Available to all students grades 5–8. Laptops may not be provided.

Anywhere else
Not near a venue, or a schedule just won't cooperate? We mentor and tutor over video too. Send us a message and let us know when you're available; we'll match you with a mentor as soon as we can.

Not familiar with code? We can teach the fundamentals first through small classes and 1:1 sessions in the same fields we mentor in, from block-based Scratch programming to more advanced data structures and web development.

Build something real, with a mentor beside you
Got an idea? Let's build it together. Students meet their mentor weekly and work one project from a sketch to something that actually runs. Two ways to get started:
