For kids who don’t want an activity- they want a community.

If your child has tried sports, clubs, lessons and still end up back on a screen, we offer “screen time” that leads to skills, confidence, and success.

Surround your child with like-minded peers

Hackingtons kids are builders. They ship projects. They learn the tools real developers use — and they do it together like a team.

Engineering

Build real things that move, light up, and respond — and feel proud showing them off.

Learn more →

Programming

Turn “I like computers” into “I can build with computers.” Real code, real progress.

Learn more →

Game Development

Make professional-level games in Unity — because games aren’t “just games” to these kids. They’re the world’s biggest creative industry.

Learn more →

CAD

Design like an inventor: prototype parts, iterate fast, and think like an engineer.

Why this works when other things didn’t

Many of our students aren’t the “join every team” kids. They’re thoughtful, intense, curious, and happiest when they’re building. We design everything around that.

Weekly Classmates

Friendships form fast when you don’t have to start over every week.

Real projects

Kids leave with something real — then can’t wait to keep building at home.

Mentor teachers

We coach the kid, not just the code. Confidence comes from small wins.

Showcases & events

Your child gets to be proud out loud — every single week.

What a week feels like

Most kids who come here already love games. That’s not a problem to solve — it’s a direction. We take that energy and turn it into: “I can build what I play.”

Every meeting has a rhythm: quick check-in with your team, focused build time (game dev, coding, or engineering), then a mini-showcase so students leave proud — and connected.

Over time, kids stop seeing themselves as “the one who doesn’t fit.” They become builders. Tuition is $140/month. Classes meet once per week for 70 minutes (after-school or on Saturdays).

At a Glance

BELONGING

Kids don’t have to “hide" their true personality here

Yes, our instructors are nerds and everyone loves video games, computers, building, figuring stuff out. Conversation gets easy fast.

MOMENTUM

Screen time turns into skills

Instead of just consuming games, they start making them — mechanics, levels, systems, UI, code. Parents notice the shift at home.

PRIDE

Confidence shows up naturally

Not because we hype them up — because they built something real, and their team celebrated it.

Want help finding the right team?

Tell us a little about your child — we’ll help match them with a crew where they’ll feel comfortable and supported.

How class meetings work

Each class has three parts: quick check-in with your team, focused build time (coding, game dev, or mechatronics), and a class showcase. Kids make meaningful progress and share it every week.

Belonging promise

If your child doesn’t click with their team in the first 3 weeks, tell us. We’ll switch teams or times until we find the right fit — no hassle, no extra cost.

Come see if these are your child’s people.

Meet the instructors. Meet the kids. Watch what happens when they feel at home.
