Marcus had my son building a self-balancing robot in three sessions. The patience and creativity he brings are unreal.

David R.

Our after-school program hired Marcus for a 6-week block. Every single kid was fully engaged every single day.

What parents are actually saying

My son took apart every toy in the house by age nine. Marcus gave that energy a direction. Now he's building autonomous line-following bots and talking about engineering school.

I run a homeschool co-op and needed someone who could hold a room of twelve kids with wildly different skill levels. Priya did it virtually, from Seattle, on a Tuesday afternoon. Incredible.

Finding an instructor who gets both the technical depth AND the patience for a room full of wiggly 9-year-olds is nearly impossible. Elijah is both. Our program grew from 8 to 34 kids this year.
