Digital Adventures

Digital Adventures is Chicago’s top-rated technology education program offering hands-on, project-based learning experiences for children in grades K-8. The company operates multiple locations in the Chicago area including Lincoln Park, Wilmette, and Oak Park, providing comprehensive STEM education through weekly 50-minute classes, summer camps, and technology-themed birthday parties.

Students learn to construct robots, model structures in 3D, build mobile applications and websites, create virtual reality worlds, design video games, hack Minecraft, and produce movies. The curriculum utilizes proven teaching techniques delivered by expert instructors in a fun, interactive environment with hundreds of STEM projects available.

Classes incorporate platforms including Scratch (visual programming developed at MIT), Roblox/Lua, JavaScript, and various robotics tools including the latest toys like robots and 3D printers. The modular project-based curriculum uses a hint-based system allowing students to receive only as much help as needed, with automatic progress assessment to promote independent learning. Students progress from safe, guardrailed environments with platform hints and instructor guidance to increasingly independent work.

The program was developed by parents who recognized the gap between technology consumption and creation by children, combining expertise across education, computer science, engineering, marketing, and product development. Digital Adventures emphasizes developing 21st century coding and engineering skills essential for solving difficult problems in our digitally-driven world.

The facilities feature beautiful, modern spaces designed to inspire creativity and learning. With over 100 five-star reviews across platforms, the company maintains its reputation as the premier technology education provider in Chicago. Both in-person and online class options are available year-round.
