STEM Gaming Classes & Camps for Kids in Cleveland, Ohio
Build real-world life skills through the games they love.
Gaming With Purpose Starts Here
Weekly tech-forward classes designed for real growth
At Ethlete Lab Academy, we teach kids how to think critically, problem-solve, and collaborate — all through gaming and creative technology. Our weekly classes aren’t just extra screen time. They’re structured, instructor-led sessions where students learn to code, build games, design digital systems, and level up their future-ready skills.
Each class is intentionally grouped by age and skill level so your gamer gets the right kind of challenge — not something too easy, not something over their head.
Whether your child is just getting curious about tech or already dreaming in Python, our classes are built to support their progress.
Skill up through the games they love.
Class Structure & Schedule
Designed for grades 4–12, grouped by Grade

Members get priority scheduling, free tournament entries, discounts on camps and merch, and access to multiple classes per week — so your gamer can learn more, save more, and stay fully plugged in.

STACKABLE SUBJECTS, MORE GROWTH
Students can take up to four classes per week across different subjects — like Coding, Game Design, Cybersecurity, and Programming. Whether they want to explore it all or go deep on one topic, we make it easy to build a personalized tech education that evolves with their interests.
What We Teach
Real tech skills. Taught through the lens of gaming.
Every class at ELA blends hands-on learning with the kind of tech your gamer actually cares about. Our programs are built to spark curiosity, build confidence, and teach real skills that matter — all through the world of gaming and creative technology.
Coding
From foundational drag-and-drop platforms like Scratch to real coding in Python, we guide students through the logic behind how games and software are built — one line of code at a time.
GAME DESIGN
Students learn to design levels, develop characters, test mechanics, and understand how every part of a game comes together — from concept to final play.
CYBERSECURITY
We make safety and responsibility second nature. Gamers explore how to protect their information, spot risks, and build healthy online habits through real-world scenarios.
PROGRAMMING
Students dive into logic, loops, and problem-solving structures — the core of how digital tools, apps, and games function behind the scenes.
