Description

Specialties

Video game design, Minecraft modding, 3D printing, laser cutting, and much more: The Pixel Academy offers a unique learning experience for kids and teens. Our project-​based approach encourages exploration and creativity with cutting-​edge technologies that most students don’t get at school. So Pixel Academy members will be a step ahead of their peers in a future driven by tech innovation.

History

Established in 2012.

After a year of hard work infusing its interactive, hands-​on workshops into programs around the 5 boroughs of New York City, the Pixel Academy flung open the doors of its flagship Cobble Hill makerspace in the spring of 2013. Since then, the technology education experience has included over 300 Brooklyn families in its after-​school family, sold out two summers of Camp Pixel, and expanded into Manhattan.

My daughter attended this after-​school program last year, but we have since moved. I thought it worth a review as she really enjoyed this place and loved all the instructors.
Somehow her obsession with all things animé and Hatsune Miku did not wear on the instructors, who seemed attentive, helpful, and accommodating. The children are taught how to use TinkerCad, Gimp, and 3D print. You can also learn Ableton and other programs.
This is really a place for future engineers, programmers, and designers. Two snacks a day are available to tack-​on automatically to your account (I believe we paid $ 45 per visit) at $ 2 so $ 47 is your end visit fee. Kids stay from 3:30 — 6:30. This was great for my home school kid who was not getting much socialization in. She did make a couple of friends.
I wasn’t really as involved a parent as I could have been, but I did notice that parents who wanted to hear about their child’s daily progress were filled in. Desk people and instructors were very open and communicative (even though busy). Shout out to Andy, with whom my daughter seemed to have a lot of laughs with, or so she said.
If you’ve got a $ 200 per month budget and a burning desire to instill a love of technology in your kid or just want to avoid the fear of a broken arm resulting from karate or football, this might be the place for your miniature human.
edit: I believe it might be just 3:30 — 6:00.
