CASE STUDIES

Our work is inspired by our students—who are our customers.

Elementary School Students: Grades 1-5

Her Computing’s coding workshops focusing on Game Development, Web Development and Introduction to Python, provide elementary students, a fun and hands-on approach to engage in computational thinking and programming. Students deep dive for a week at a time through our annual coding camps. Many of our students that started in elementary are now in our late middle school and high school programming. Our Gimkit tournaments during each class keeps students excited for revising concepts. Early exposure empowers our students to explore many options as their interests evolve.

Students in late elementary also join our annual hackathon hosted in partnership with Phillips Exeter Academy’s FTC Vertex team. Additionally, students play our proprietary board game to discover numerous tech and computing concepts and an array of careers in the field.

"Liked making my own game and then playing it
They explained the project really good to us."
— Netra M., 5th Grader

"Gimkit and coding with everyone was fun!
They helped me when I needed it and were very kind and nice!."
— Richa K., 5th Grader

"The most I liked about the coding camp—the teachers!
I like coding!."
— Anonymized 4th Grader

"I loved how on the last day we got to make our own code
They [instructors] explained each block of code very well. One thing I do not like about coding is.. glitches."
— Tanya V., 4th Grader

"Writing Code is the most I liked about the camp
He [instructor] taught me how to code on a website i've never heard of."
— Mitchell A., 3rd Grader

"Doing things right and watching my website form!:)
They [instructors] made people listen and made sure they were on the right track!."
— Mishka M., 4th Grader

"Next subject I want to study is deep learning
We could learn so many new things"
— Ariana S., 2nd Grader

"Making the caves game was fun!
I want to do my next workshop on Rasberry pi. Want to play more coding games!"
— Adelle S., 4th Grader

"Next I want to learn Python
I liked that even when we were behind on time, Tanish still took his time to make the concepts crystal clear"
— Suvid B., 5th Grader

"Next subject I want to study is deep learning.
We could learn so many new things"

— Ariana S., 2nd Grader

Middle and High School Students: Grades 6-12

Her Computing’s coding workshops focussing on Advanced Game Development, Advanced Web development (with API and JQuery), Python for Machine Learning and Data Analysis, provide middle school students, a challenging and hands-on approach to learn concepts and apply to solve real problems. Middle schools students also explore Robotics with CAD and Programming specialization—and gain exposure and skills to decide if they want to pursue competitive robotics in high school.

Middle school students that require accelerated curriculum and high school students also explore Computational Science Research using NLP and Computer Vision— particularly if they want to deep dive in research and participate in science fairs in high school. Many middle school students also attend our annual coding camps. Our Gimkit tournaments continue to be the favorite time for our students and their competitiveness is on full display to win the games!!

Our high-achieving middle school students also perform as teaching associates during the class. Students also join our annual hackathon hosted in partnership with Phillips Exeter Academy’s FTC Vertex team and play our proprietary board game to dig deeper into the workings of a tech company as they explore the many career options in tech & computing.

"It was fun spending time with strangers.
Next I want to study Machine Learning."

"We did fun coding projects and made fun games! I had an awesome instructor too!
Riya showed the steps and explained concepts well!"
— Avni A., 6th Grader

"My class instructor Tanish was funny and helpful!
The class was engaging but sometimes it can take a long time for the code to work!."
— Arjun K., 7th Grader

"I liked EVERYTHING!!!! Riya is awesome, she explained everything really well!
Love coding as just how putting blocks together can create something really cool!."
— Shruti D., 6th Grader

"I learned how each style of coding is similar to the other.
My instructor, Tanish, made the class fun!"
— Isha B., 7th Grader

"What I liked the most was my instructor Riya; teaching me and helping me understand coding.
I want to learn Python next."
— Tan S., 7th Grader

"It was fun spending time with strangers."

— Amogh D., 8th Grader

Parents of Current or Prospective Students

Parents access our open-source coding curriculum for their students who are keen to self-learn or revise concepts. Ask us Anything session is popular with parents and students in middle and early high school particularly for perspective and guidance on high school academics and extra curricular activities. Parents also directly interact with us via email, phone, info sessions, on social media, or during drop-off/pick-up from events.

DD had a fabulous time and truly enjoyed her experience
First of all congrats on hosting such a cool camp. You’ve clearly demonstrated that teaching is an art and not a science. Keeping young kids engaged for 3 hours at a time is not something I have seen my daughter’s school teachers do ...

Life changing for sure
Many thanks Tanish and Riya. My DD had an excellent experience working with both of you (life changing for sure). Both of you have a great technical and presentation skills, and this was for a very noble cause.
