Why People Love The Learnatory!
Enrolling my child in The Learnatory for the three years prior to COVID was one of the best decisions I've made as a parent. The transformative impact this program has had on my child's development is truly remarkable. Not only has he gained valuable skills in STEM and the arts, but he has also grown in confidence, creativity, and leadership.
Kate, Brooklyn
The Learnatory's engaging and hands-on approach to learning has sparked my child's curiosity and passion for learning. From building robots to creating digital art and coding games, she has had the opportunity to explore a wide range of subjects and discover new interests.
What sets The Learnatory apart is not just the quality of the programs but also the supportive and nurturing environment provided by the instructors and staff. They truly care about the well-being and success of my child. They gave her a sense of belonging and confidence. I am truly grateful for their positive influence on my daughter’s life.
Beverly, Chicago
I am grateful for the positive impact The Learnatory, formerly called GenTech, had on my life. It was more than a summer camp to me. It was a vehicle that let me explore and discover my interests, talents, and actually, my passions and career. I attended from age 10 to 14 during summers and on Saturdays, too. I was always in anticipation of my next class. The teachers were great and the environment was light and fun.
I credit GenTech (The Learnatory) for helping me find my passion and career in animation and graphic design which I leveraged into a successful career in advertising. I can attest to the skill levels of the classes because what I learned helped me to get into college and major in animation and eventually, in screenwriting. Today, I am a Senior Copywriter at one of the country’s largest advertising agencies.
I highly recommend The Learnatory to any parent looking to provide their child with an enriching and transformative educational experience. For me, it was life-changing.
