TechKnowHow has been teaching tech classes since 1994 and has been providing tech enrichment and camps in the San Francisco Bay Area for over 31 years, during which time it has taught over 37,000 students. The team develops original curriculum year-round so that new projects with cutting-edge technology and lessons can be offered, and camps use new, custom-designed curriculum each year. TechKnowHow states its mission as “To provide children and teens with meaningful STEM education through projects they love!”

TechKnowHow has received multiple parent awards, including 2025 Bay Area Parent Magazine Best Science and Technology Camp, 2025 Parents' Press Top 5 Computer Science and Coding Camps, and awards from Bay Area Parent magazine for Best Technology Camp and Best STEM Support, and it notes that TechKnowHow wins numerous parent awards each year. Parents report that camps are “seriously fun,” and testimonials describe the camps as well organized and engaging, with instructors who are patient and make sure all the kids are able to participate. One parent shared that a 7-year-old “just completed the LEGO camp” and immediately asked, “can I do that again?”, while others noted that their kids “learned a lot in their coding camps and developed further interest in coding,” and named specific staff members for their patience with kids.
