Who we are...
At Mindbytes, we don't simply aim to teach. We aim to help inspire and guide the next generation of innovators, entrepreneurs, and artists! We believe that every young learner has the ability to blossom, and work to foster the growth of each individual student through our variety of skill development programs structured as workshops and enrichment sessions. Many of our programs leverage current technologies, thereby adequately preparing students for their future work in STEM, business, and the arts.
Our programs are generally designed for small groups, allowing us to provide students with the individual attention that they need in order to get the most out of out programs. We place great emphasis on building the foundation necessary for our students to be self-motivated, lifelong learners in the classroom and beyond. This ambition includes helping students to build confidence, improve their comprehension, communicate more effectively, and utilize their creativity.
Over the past 10 years, Mindbytes has had the pleasure of working with over 4,800 students aged 4 and above through many innovative summer and after-school programs, courses, and workshops. Mindbytes has partnered with local school districts, universities, libraries, and nonprofit organizations located in New Jersey, North Carolina and India to deliver their programs.
