Frequently Asked Questions

How do workshops work?

We host specialized workshops approximately 1-2 times per month. These events are designed to offer either an intensive mini-course on an advanced topic or a unique opportunity to connect with and learn from amazing local industry leaders and guest speakers.

Are the classes free?

Yes, all classes, workshops, and learning resources provided by TechNova are completely free of charge. Our mission is to ensure all youth have equal opportunities to explore technology and coding without financial barriers.

Will my child learn Java coding or block coding?

Choice is encouraged! We proudly offer separate curriculums for both Java (text-based) and block coding. Parents and students can choose the path that best suits their learning goals. Please explore our Resources section for more in-depth details on each curriculum.

Why Java?

Java is an industry-standard, object-oriented programming language that powers billions of devices and major enterprise systems. Learning Java provides a strong foundation in computer science fundamentals, prepares students for AP Computer Science courses, and equips them with a highly marketable and scalable skill set for future careers in tech.

My kid doesn't know anything about programming, can they join?

Absolutely. TechNova is built to welcome complete beginners. Our programs are specifically structured to introduce fundamental concepts in a supportive, low-pressure environment, ensuring a positive starting experience for every student.
