Does your child have what it takes to lead in the 21st century? Young Hacks Academy (YHA) is a summer camp that uses technology to develop real-world leadership skills. Blending computer programming, problem-solving, and teamwork; YHA teaches kids to build cool video games about big challenges
facing the world today, such as climate change, homelessness, and endangered wildlife. As serious as we are about exploring technology, YHA is also committed to having fun away from the screen, moving campers outside each day for unplugged games like treasure hunts and riddle relays.

No programming experience is required.

Agent Training

Whether it’s public speaking or collaborating with peers, YHA Agent Training models essential leadership techniques that will immediately help students in and out of the classroom.
Agents tackle daily missions using Scratch, a user-friendly, visual programming tool that empowers students to quickly start developing their own games and stories.
The challenge is to come up with a project that will not only entertain their friends; but also, teach something about topics that are impacting our local and global community.
