How the After School Program Works

We make it completely simple for schools. Four steps and your students are coding.

1

School Partners With Us

The principal signs a simple partnership agreement. TechBelt Academy handles all curriculum, instruction, and parent communication — completely free to the school.

2

We Set Up Everything

We provide the curriculum, the Zoom setup for hybrid students, and all digital materials. The school provides a room with computers or tablets.

3

Parents Enroll Directly

Parents register and pay tuition directly to TechBelt Academy via Zelle. The school incurs zero cost. Classes run once per week for 1.5 hours.

4

Students Earn Their Belts

After 12 weeks students present their final projects at a belt ceremony held at the school. Parents, teachers, and administrators are all invited.

Hybrid Delivery Model In-person students + online students — same class, same instructor, same time

One Class — Two Worlds

Our hybrid model means in-person students sit in the school room while online students join via Zoom simultaneously. You teach once — both groups learn together.

This gives families maximum flexibility while maximizing the number of students we can serve in every session.

🏫

In-Person Students

Attend at school after dismissal. Use school computers or bring their own device. Hands-on with the instructor in the room.

💻

Online Students

Join via Zoom from home. Screen share shows what the instructor is building. Chat and unmute to ask questions in real time.

🎯

Same Curriculum

Every student — in-person or online — follows the exact same 12-week belt curriculum and earns the same certificate at the end.

What Every Student Gets

TechBelt Academy students receive a complete, structured, and rewarding coding education — not just screen time.

👨‍💻

Live Instruction

Every class is taught live by a licensed NJ Computer Science teacher — not a pre-recorded video. Your child can ask questions in real time.

🏗️

Real Projects

Students build something new every single session. Games, animations, apps, and worlds — not just watching or doing worksheets.

🥋

Belt Certificate

After 12 weeks students earn their official TechBelt Academy belt certificate at a ceremony their parents are invited to attend.

📊

Weekly Progress Updates

Parents receive a brief update after every class explaining what their child worked on and how they are progressing toward their belt.

🎓

Scholarship Access

Families who cannot afford tuition can apply for a scholarship funded by our corporate sponsors. No child is turned away due to cost.

🚀

Belt Progression Path

Students who complete one belt can advance to the next level. White Belt graduates become Yellow Belt students — the journey keeps going.

What Families Are Saying

"

My daughter has never been this excited about anything school-related. She comes home every Wednesday talking about the game she built in Roblox. She is already asking when she can start the next belt.

"

As a principal I was looking for a STEM program that costs the school nothing and delivers real results. TechBelt Academy handles everything. My students are learning actual coding skills, not just playing games.

"

My son completed White Belt and immediately wanted to sign up for Orange Belt. He showed his grandfather the Scratch game he built and his grandfather could not believe a 7-year-old made it.
