Rocket Club Academy, the visionary robotics, coding, and entrepreneurship after-school program for 7 to 14 year-olds which started in New York City, will be opening on September 5th at 7358 Lincoln Avenue in Lincolnwood.
Rocket Club Academy’s first Chicago location was launched by Aicha Sharif in Lincoln Park and filled up quickly before requiring a waitlist. Sticking to a boutique methodology, Aicha will be enrolling only 45 total members at Lincolnwood’s location.
The club was founded by Alex Hodara, an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award Winner and Forbes 30 Under 30. Alex started his entrepreneurial career when he was a child and created Rocket Club Academy as a way to provide a similar experience for the next generation. Enlisting the help of industry leaders, Rocket Club Academy has created a proprietary curriculum: a mix of robotics, coding, cutting-edge technology, and entrepreneurship.
Within the first month at Rocket Club Academy, members begin to build and code robotics and start their own clothing line on an e-commerce platform. Rocket Club has helped hundreds of members launch businesses including a 9-year-old, who was featured on Good Morning America for her stop motion business called Stop & Love, Astronade – a bottled lemonade company founded by 10-year-olds that received investment from the Co-Founder of Netflix, and hundreds of t-shirt companies that have grossed over $36,000 in sales.
In addition to robotics and building their own business, members learn about topics like Blockchain Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Climate Science, the Stock Market, 3D Printing, and Biotechnology to name a few.
Rocket Club Academy’s members have the unique opportunity to build a lifelong network of peers, forever viewing the world differently because of their advanced tech education. Rocket Club Academy’s staff is building the club they wished they had when they were kids and empowering their members to become everything they want to be when they grow up.
