Tech Education Leader is Elevating the Online Learning Experience and Connecting Students Across the Globe with Like-Minded Peers
Between school closures and inconsistent quality of distance learning programs in the wake of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, kids and teens have an immediate need for structured learning. Additionally, parents are tasked with keeping young minds sharp and keeping their kids engaged socially—all in an effort to maintain well-rounded personal growth paths to traverse the new normal.

In response, iD Tech, the world leader in tech education, is offering a suite of virtual experiences taught by live instructors—not simply “point and click,” “kid and screen” online learning with which parents might already be familiar, but active education where students can engage in back-and-forth with certified instructors, and work together with peers in tech topics from Minecraft to 3D Printing to Python coding.
“We’ve been preparing for ‘what’s next’ for the past 20 years, so we had a considerable head start,” said Pete Ingram-Cauchi, CEO of iD Tech. “Families already understand that learning technology is vital for their kids, and right now, they’re seeking ways to keep them safe, busy, and socially engaged online. Kids are craving connection and want to become experts on the technologies they love. Many options being rolled out right now are ill-conceived and were put up in a hurry, and, unfortunately miss the mark. But we’ve designed our virtual experiences to address our students’ overall wellbeing in a dynamic environment that is completely unlike school.”
