Life is Tech

The core of its business is providing in-person IT and programming camps, primarily for middle and high school students aged 12 to 18. These camps, which run for three to eight days, are held at university campuses and offer a variety of courses including iPhone and Android app development, 3D game development, web design, and digital art. The curriculum is designed to be accessible to beginners, with a significant majority of participants having no prior programming experience. The learning model is project-based, encouraging students to create their own applications and games, some of which have been released on app stores. A key feature of the camps is a low mentor-to-student ratio of 1:6, with university students serving as mentors after undergoing extensive training.

In addition to its signature camps, Life is Tech has expanded its offerings to include year-round school programs, an online learning platform called "Life is Tech! Lesson," and specialized programs such as "Code Girls" for female students and "TECH for Teachers" for educators. The online platform provides a comprehensive package for schools, including teaching plans and support tools for educators, making it easier to integrate programming into the curriculum. The company has also ventured into corporate DX training and career support programs for university students. A notable partnership with Disney led to the creation of Disney Codeillusion, an engaging, game-like curriculum that teaches coding and computer science using Disney characters.

Life is Tech's business model involves charging fees for its camps and school programs. The company has established a global presence, hosting camps in Singapore and Australia, and has formed partnerships with universities like the University of Tokyo and companies such as Google and Yahoo Japan. Since its inception, it has educated over 20,000 students. The company has received recognition for its impact, including the Google RISE Award in 2014 and winning at EdTechXEurope in 2016.
