Yoav Rubin (Parent) — TikTok camp

Our kids went to VISST’s TikTok camp and they loved it. Mike and Shaun are fantastic instructors who put in the time and effort to make sure every new topic one come learn is digestible. Highly recommend!

From B.M.: Great camp experience! VISST has so many interesting topics kids can learn about. My kid absolutely loved puzzle coding – he did it twice and would do it a 3rd time, if he could!

From Doug: Our son had an excellent experience in puzzle game programming, both with respect to the course content and the spirit of learning developed in the classroom.

From H Khatat: My son attended several VISST summer camps, including the Science Matters and Puzzle Game Programming camps, and had a great time. He loves Science and Technology and the camps increased his love for the topics and encouraged him to explore them further. The instructors are fun and engaging. I would definitely recommend them to everyone!

From Jenni: A great way to learn coding. My 11 year old daughter really enjoyed it and was excited to show us the computer game she designed and created.
