Online Classes

Learn through creating. Create your own video game, Minecraft mod, Roblox game, and more.

Our Classes

Our online classes are offered via the Outschool platform and Zoom.  Many of our classes have both a live option and a self-paced option.  Live classes meet 1x per week for 6-8 weeks. In the self-paced option, students learn through interactive lessons and videos. Each lesson contains an interactive video that students follow. Students are challenged at the end of each lesson to apply what they learned to a building/coding exercise.

How do I know if a live or self-paced class is best for my child?

Learning Through Creating

We believe students learn and grow by actively creating and bringing new things into existence. When students work on creating their own video game, virtual world, business, app, or invention, they are forced to improve in critical future-ready skills.  Our programs are tied together by a common goal to help kids prepare for a rapidly changing future by teaching them the skills they need to create opportunities and fulfillment for themselves.

Specifically, our organization helps students to improve in the following areas.

  • Creativity
  • Problem Solving
  • Collaboration
  • Empathy For Others
  • Communication
  • Adaptability
  • Perseverance
  • Self-Directed Learning

All Create2Discover classes are taught by founder and veteran educator, Shawn Walk.  Learn more about Shawn.

A live class might be better if…..

  • Your child wants to interact with other students and share their work.
  • Your child wants to ask questions as they arise and get live teacher support if they are having difficulty.
  • Your child needs reminders to pay attention to the lesson. A live class might be better if you feel they would have a harder time focusing in a self-paced, independent class.

A self-paced class might be better if….

  • Your child wants to learn at their own pace and complete multiple lessons at one time and not wait each week for the next lesson in a live class.
  • Your child is more of an independent learner and enjoys teaching themself things using video instruction and interactive lessons.
  • Your child is at the higher end of the age level for the class or has some previous experience with the topic and would prefer a faster pace for the topic.
