In today's tech-savvy world, it's vital for our kids to get ahead of the curve. At UTG Academy our mission is to work with youth to motivate, and ignite passions in STEM (S)cience, (T)echnology, (E)ngineering and (M)ath.
Our focus is on coding, robotics, and engineering, areas pivotal to the future of technology and innovation.
Our commitment extends beyond academic success, we focus on nurturing the best for each student, building resilience, adaptability, and wonder.
Folks We've Worked With
Our daughter Kaede has been attending Under the
GUI classes for a couple of years now. Kaede has enjoyed the classes at Under the GUI as the
teachers and support staff are knowledgeable and friendly. It has been great to see Kaede make
connections between the games she plays on her tablet and the underlying programming. Kaede
is gaining the understanding that you can be a creator, not just a user. We plan to have
Kaede continue at Under the GUI for as long as possible.
The Wardley Family
Simon has been able to use his coding skills at school, and
has created some amazing projects. He built a very impressive video game
for a social studies project that demonstrated his understanding of agricultural methods
used in Ancient Egypt. Simon's interest in computers has only grown during his time at Under the GUI.
David G. and Maria H. (Parents)
Xavier looks forward to attending his course every week. His
interest in programming has also pushed him to practice at home, and even learn math
concepts ahead of his school curriculum. The courses at Under the GUI feel like they’re
preparing Xavier for industries of the future, where understanding code will likely be a major asset.
Damian K. (Parent)
[My son] very much enjoys his GUI classes and looks forward to
them each week. He enjoys learning “a new language” and working with his friends in class. I like
that my son is learning an important skill in a supportive environment. He’s stretching himself in
terms of logical and linear thinking. If a child is interested in programming, it’s a great environment.
Gloria F. (Parent)
Under the GUI has really taken an effort to get to know Sophia and support her
in her learning. As a parent, I like the fact that my daughter feels enabled to enter the world of
computer programming. The logic and math skills she learns enrich her basic school curriculum, teaching
her different ways of thinking about things.
Tricia B. (Parent)
The wisdom and patience of the Under the GUI teachers allowed even the most
difficult concepts to seem within my grasp. Finally, if I had to sum up my experience at UTG in one word
it would be “enthusiastic” as I never once got the impression that a teacher was anything less that enthusiastic
to bestow his or her students with knowledge.

My son Cooper absolutely loves going to the coding classes at Under the GUI! He gets
excited every Friday night when I tell him that’s what he is doing on Saturday morning. Classes are fun and
educational and Cooper has designed some really cool games. The staff are great and very accommodating if classes are missed!
