What families say

“Me and my dad wanted to find something coding related for me to start because I expressed interest in it. I LOVED IT A LOT! My mom told me, and I remember saying this, that after my first class, I said it was the first place I felt like where I really belonged and that I had a family and that there were other people that were like me.” — Ryan, GameU Student

“You know what it is, is the enthusiasm that I really like a lot. That’s probably what really stands out–for the staff at GameU–is the enthusiasm. I will say that I felt like everybody works as a team. That it really feels like everybody’s got each other’s back. It’s like, ‘ok, you can’t do this, I got it.’ It just feels very organized, so that’s how I know GameU is a really great company.” — Jade, GameU Parent

“The instructors at GameU are simply amazing. I’ve never had instructors for my students that have connected with my students the way that the instructors at GameU do…my students through GameU have created a lot of different projects and anything from coding projects in Scratch and moving all the way up to robotics with moving parts…” — Erica, GameU Parent
