Academy of Digital Science

I will stay away from the fan club of Academy of Digital Science. This review is strictly for their rip off what happens with elementary school after school program. It is a sham, where you pay hundred of dollars to have your kid shoved in front of «code​.org», a free resource, once an «always late teacher» arrives. Full disclosure, I work with developers and am pseudo developer and have program managed launch of several apps. My son has been on
since day one when it was launched. To the parents, do not waste your Money and time with this program, your kid can go to «code​.org» herself/​himself @ home. It is free and very easy to navigate and if you can launch a browser, you can help your child.
To be fair, we wrote to the company and complained but received no response. We have also raised our concern with PTA to not to fall for this scam, next year.

I highly recommend Bobak and the Academy of Digital Science. This class is the highlight of my daughter’s week. She began with the 2D game design and has now moved on to the 3D class. She has created many projects and games and is inspired to pursue a career in coding when she is grown. The kids in the class are always engaged, working hard, calm and very happy. We can’t recommend this class highly enough!!!

Bobak is a very friendly and knowledgeable guy. I signed up for his intro to digital music through a deal on pinchit and, I will admit that I went into his class with low expectations. I was VERY pleasantly surprised. I am 25 years old and was expecting his class to be geared toward K-​12 aged children. I learned a lot and a had a lot of fun doing it. I would recommend him and his classes to any of my friends who want to learn more about the digital arts regardless of skill level.

I highly recommend the Academy of Digital Science in Lafayette. All three of my kids took the intro to video games class there, and two of them have continued on to take the animation classes. My kids are enthusiastic about going to the class, and about the projects they work on. The various tools are learned in the process of creating the games and animations, rather than teaching the tools as an end in itself. This makes the class fun and objective-​oriented for the students. I think this is also more reflective of the real world where the objective is to create a game or video and the tools are mastered along the way.

I highly recommend the Video Game Creation training at Academy of Digital Science. The instructor is the best; he knows his subject and has the talent to teach. With just one training class my son was able to create his own video game and it was posted at the Academy of Digital Science website. I am planning to sign up for more classes since they are the best.
