    Our virtual classrooms are a safe space for learning and expression.

This positive environment is key to encouraging exploration and growth in technology and gaming.

Testimonials

My son is on the spectrum. He has a very hard time fitting in and focusing at school. Last year he started being bullied and never wanted to go. However he can't wait to go to Game Gen every week. He has never been happier and more interested in something ever in his life. He has been at Game Gen for 2 years. His talents in coding are really starting to show. Learning computer science was the best thing for him. Thank you Game Gen and your amazing teachers.


Rachel - Parent

My daughter was 16 when we enrolled her in Game Gen. She didn’t know what she wanted to do with her life when we enrolled. I am happy to report we just received a letter from NYU accepting her into their computer science program. I credit Game Gen for helping my daughter find a direction with her life.
