At Genius Camp we are empowered by a dynamic team of professionals who specialize in subjects including Science, Technology, Robotics, Engineering, Art, and Math.

Mo Amani

/ Founder & CEO of GENIUS CAMP

We engage children in real-life challenges and encourage them to put theory into practice in a fun way, using science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). We expand our campers’ perspectives by awakening their problem-solving skills and inspiring them to think outside the box. We identify and pinpoint every individual’s needs and walk them through the path of success at a pace that is best suited for them. Our integrated teaching methods explore the genius within the child and inspire them to become more knowledgeable, creative, and self-motivated not only in the classroom but also in real life.
