What is the Belt Program?

This is our most popular program for good reason! Austin parents love the variety of technical skills and soft skills their student gains as they progress through the various ‘Belts’ or levels. Kids get excited about the fun, hands-on activities within each lesson that incorporate the latest technology like robotics, drones, AI, 3-D printing, and more! Our knowledgeable instructors begin each class with a lesson, followed by an activity designed to reinforce the new concepts. Parents receive regular progress reports to keep them in the loop allowing them to confidently talk with their student about everything they’re learning and cheer on their achievements at the Belt graduation ceremony!

Select the Belt that is right for your student based on your child’s interest and age.
