Since 1994, CompuChild has been dedicated to preparing children for the academic challenges of tomorrow through technology education today. To accomplish our mission, we:
Our classes are offered throughout the year. After-School Centers and Elementary Schools, are welcome to contact us to learn more about our program.
Young inventors explore engineering by building moving mechanisms with gears, pulleys, cams, and motors. They begin with guided models, then create their own designs while developing problem-solving and teamwork skills. Videos, games, and simple block coding keep learning fun and bring their creations to life, inspiring confidence and curiosity.
Children will design interactive games using Scratch block coding while learning loops, variables, conditionals, and animation. They add sound, music, and AI-generated characters to make their projects engaging. Through hands-on practice, students build creativity, logical thinking, and problem-solving skills, becoming confident young game designers with a strong early foundation in AI tools.
In this course, students explore clean technology by building circuits that model electric cars, windmills, and solar devices. They learn how series and parallel circuits work, experiment with real components like LEDs, switches, and wires, and reinforce key ideas through videos, Kahoot, and guided hands-on activities that make every clean-tech concept clear and engaging.
In this program, students learn how to communicate with AI through hands-on activities, creative projects, and games. They practice prompt engineering, create stories, images, and simple games, and explore AI’s strengths, limits, and biases. The course builds critical thinking, responsible use, and future-ready skills for an AI-driven world.
You can click on the “Enroll Now” buttons or use the “QR Code” in the flyer to get to the enrollment forms. There are downloadable flyers available for every course. Please feel free to download those pdf files to learn more about each course. You can also scroll up and view the details by clicking on the “Read More” link right on this website.
We believe students and parents are the best judges of what they would like to explore. Our courses are designed to challenge students based on their level of understanding.
Refunds are allowed only before classes begin. Fees are non-refundable after the beginning of the session. Our classes have been very well received by parents and students in various school districts. If parents did not enroll a child then that spot could have gone to another child in the waiting list.
There will be no makeup for missed classes.
CompuChild has a diverse set of curricula in STEM and Entrepreneurship. We plan to offer our after-school enrichment classes throughout the year, including summer camps. Given the breadth of our curricula, we do not expect to repeat the same course for the same level student for approximately 2 years.
CompuChild instructors bring robotic kits, electrical circuit kits, computers, tablets, projectors, etc. to the class. Children do not bring anything – other than their excitement for learning :-).
We try to maintain a student/teacher ratio of ~15/1 for hands-on classes such as robotics and electrical circuits. For other classes, we maintain a student/teacher ratio of ~24/1. The student/teacher ratio in our online classes is ~8/1.
Most of our classes have a final project where children demonstrate what they have learnt from the class through props, posters and presentations. We also recommend various observations and inquiries which are discussed in the next class. Other than these, there is no required homework that needs to be graded.
We do an assessment of every child on the first day of the class for our internal use and provide brief feedback at the end of the class. While CompuChild is very focused on making sure that children learn from these classes, we are also cognizant that a test/exam-focused environment hampers the excitement for learning. We do not make our evaluation available to parents. Parents should talk to their children to understand if they are benefiting from our classes.
Teamwork is one of the most important skills that students will learn in our class. We typically provide one robotic or electrical circuit kit to a group of 3 students. Students take turn to build these models and projects. We try to group children in a way that there is a minimum difference between the grade levels in one group. Our instructors keep an eye on the group dynamic and try to change the group if necessary.
Most of the building and programming happens with expensive robotic and electrical circuit kits. We cannot afford to give these parts and models to children. They will use these parts to build another model in the next class. One way to communicate what happened in the class is by posting pictures and videos of activities in the class on CompuChild’s WhatsApp group and Facebook sites which parents can join. For that, parents need to allow us to take pictures of children and their activities in class which we can use for sharing with parents and our marketing purposes. You have this option in the enrollment form. Another great way to find out what happened in the class is to talk to your child. This allows them to recollect, which reinforces the ideas that we highlight in our class.
Our enrollment form asks if parents will be picking up their child from the class or their child is allowed to walk home on their own. If parents indicate that they will be picking up their child from the class then they will need to come to the door at the class.
Parents/guardians are fully responsible for picking up children within five minutes of the dismissal time. The school district allows us the room for very specific hours. Your delay will require our instructors to wait with your child, sometimes even outside the classroom. After the first 5 minutes, we will be charging parents $5 for every 10 minute delay. CompuChild has the policy of passing on 100% of these fines to our instructors who wait with the child.
We are CompuChild of San Ramon and Danville, CA. We strongly believe that children are our future, and while a strong understanding of science and technology is important, it needs to be complemented with effective communication, an understanding of economic viability, and ethical decision-making to seed a positive entrepreneurial mindset that will truly enable them to shape a better future for our world. This philosophy has led to her emphasis on Entrepreneurial STEAM™. We are excited to be serving the Mountain House community with innovative, effective, hands-on, and fun-filled after-school enrichment classes.
Shubhra also runs a 501(c)(3)non-profit organization, CompuChild Enrichment Inc., through which she offers educational classes in various franchisor-owned territories, including San Ramon.
