Program Curriculum
We believe in creating opportunities for underrepresented youth to discover their passion for technology and pursue college degrees in tech-related fields. Our project-based curriculum is designed to inspire, engage, and empower students by helping them gain confidence, develop problem-solving skills, and master the fundamentals of coding.
Empowering Students Through Hands-On Learning
Through a dynamic, project-based approach, students learn coding in an accessible and engaging way. From introductory block coding tools like Scratch to real-world programming languages such as Python, JavaScript, Swift, C#, and Lua, our curriculum is designed to grow with each student’s abilities. By completing projects, students not only develop technical skills but also build a sense of accomplishment and readiness for future academic challenges in the tech field.
For Parents:
A Program That Grows with Your Child
The curriculum is designed to evolve alongside your child’s skills and interests. From core coding concepts to the programming languages used by industry giants like Apple, Google, Amazon, and EA Sports, each course helps students become more proficient while adding complex, portfolio-worthy projects. Classes are taught using age-appropriate development environments—from block coding with Scratch for younger students to advanced tools like Unity for more experienced learners—ensuring your child is challenged at every stage.
For Schools:
Tailored Computer Science Programs for Success
Since 2013, T.A.G. has been a trusted partner for schools across our nation's capital, delivering in-school and after-school Computer Science classes that align with Core learning objectives. Our adaptable curriculum supports Computer Science electives, enrichment classes, CTE Programs, and coding camps, offering beginner to advanced-level courses. We provide the curriculum and experienced instructors, allowing schools to offer high-quality, engaging tech education for their students.
Partnering for Success
We are committed to expanding our impact by partnering with new schools, just as we have successfully done with IDEA and EL Haynes, two DC public and charter high schools. These collaborations have led to the establishment of Computer Science electives and Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs, empowering students to explore technology, develop essential skills, and pursue college degrees and careers in the tech industry. ​
Building on the success of these programs, we look forward to reaching new heights with you as our next valued partner!
