Every child wants to learn. They may not want to sit at a table and memorize times tables, but they do want to learn. The insatiable curiosity of putting everything in their mouth as a baby to asking “what’s that?” on repeat when they’re four, children are driven to create and discover. As parents, we want to encourage this no matter how old they get, and Tech Trep Academy does too. By engaging kids’ own unique passions and interests, Tech Trep encourages students to learn, create and share with the world around them.
So what exactly is Tech Trep Academy? It’s an online learning community for young tech enthusiasts and budding entrepreneurs. Their interactive courses are geared toward kids ages 8-14. There’s a course for every interest – everything from Minecraft modding and game programming to 3D printing, digital animation, sound mixing, entrepreneurship and more.
The setup of a Tech Trep course is designed to take students beyond traditional school curriculum – exactly what a Crunchy parent might want. Students can set their own pace, focusing on one project and skill practice at a time or moving through the course as quickly as they like. Even though a course usually takes about 15-20 weeks, students can access the course materials and their online mentor (a real life entrepreneur) for a full year.
Homeschooling parents have seen the spark in their kids’ eyes when they first understand something new. It’s amazing how being able to say, “I made this” about a real, tangible result will change how a child thinks about learning. Take a look at student feedback here!
