    I find it really convenient that there is an ebook because if you miss something or want something to look back on, you can always refer to the lesson plan.

  • Java Programming Summer Program (High School)

    Emily Mittleman • April 10, 2023
    I really enjoyed the goal-oriented nature of the course. Instead of only learning about the theory behind computing, we got a chance to apply what was being taught by writing code and putting everything together to build something practical. Also, we covered a wide range of topics aside from just programming like a little bit of computer hardware, files & file formats, and HTML. After taking this class, I feel like there are so many more possibilities and applications of computer science than I originally thought. Overall, I was really impressed with how well-designed the course was.

    We covered much of the content that I was hoping to cover and all was easily understood. The instructor was very nice and taught the information in a way that was easy to follow and understand.
  • Computer Science Summer Program (High School)

    Kavita Bafana • April 10, 2023
    My son attended the NextGen Camp during the summer of 2019 for 2 sessions in NYC. There are way too many positive things I can say about the staff and curriculum. Everything deserves 5 stars. Zach, the owner of the program was tremendously supportive, informative and knowledgeable about the computer science world. He advised us on what courses to take and even spent the time interviewing my son to see which program would be the best fit. He was just so patient and helpful. My son has been coding for years, but there were many gaps, we learned. The two programs he did helped him realize his holes, filled them and propelled him to learn more deeply about CS and stay passionate. What more can a camp do! If you are looking for a serious, real-deal coding camp with strong, friendly instructors who can communicate and teach - NextGen is the best summer computer science camp in the NYC area.

    My 3 year old son and I took the Galaxy Donuts cooking class at Taste Buds Kitchen and absolutely loved it! The instructor was wonderful with children, the kitchen was bright, fun and clean, and the entire activity was well run. The class was also perfectly timed for one hour so that it kept my son's attention throughout. I would highly recommend attending this class if you can! I definitely plan to attend another cooking class in the near future.
  • Cupcakes 101 "One Ticket for 2 People"

    Dave H. • June 28, 2022

  • Comedy 4 Kids Times Square NYC

    nina R. • April 4, 2022
    So, I'm giving this 5 stars because the teacher, Nick was really amazing. He was so patient and good with the kids (who didn't always make it easy). I will say-- there were adults and teenagers and younger kids in the same class. This was super fun for my 7.5 year old who learned a lot from the teens (who were very, very funny). I was expecting a different format, but what I actually wanted was Improv, and it was 2 hours of improv. So-- a heads up, this was an improv class.
