About Us
Learning by Making
We believe students learn best by building things they care about. Our program blends structured learning with creative freedom—supporting coding, engineering, robotics, and design through real projects.
Our Philosophy
Traditional tech education often falls into two camps: rigid curriculum that bores students, or open-ended exploration with no direction. We take a different approach.
At Innovation Studio, students work on personal projects they're genuinely excited about, while following a structured skill progression that ensures they're building real competency. It's the best of both worlds.
Our studio model means you're not sitting in a classroom. You're in a workshop environment with an instructor present to guide, troubleshoot, and help you make consistent progress on long-term projects.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
- Project-Based
No busywork. Every skill learned gets applied to real projects.
- Flexible Scheduling
Book studio time when it works for you, not a fixed class schedule.
- Multi-Year Growth
2-4 year progression from foundations to portfolio-quality work.
- Small Groups
Maximum 6 students per session ensures personalized attention.
- Cross-Disciplinary
Combine coding, hardware, design, and game dev in one project.
Your Instructor
Lead Instructor & Founder
With a Computer Science degree from the University of Waterloo and over three years of experience teaching mathematics, coding, and engineering to students from grades 5-12, I founded Innovation Studio to give students the hands-on, project-based learning experience I wish I had growing up.
Beyond teaching, I work as a technical contractor on projects ranging from computer vision systems for startups to motor classification algorithms. This means the skills I teach are the same ones used in real industry work—not textbook exercises.
My approach is simple: meet students where they are, help them build things they actually care about, and make sure they're learning real skills along the way.
