ADVANCED​ LEARNING PROJECT

A small, hard-working educational services company based in Long Beach, CA. Established in 2008, we hit the ground running with our innovative summer camps and workshops. Soon curriculum design, consulting, Minecraft servers and authoring have added to our growing list of products and services. Now we are rolling out a new innovation, with the first-ever leaning platform for teaching combat robotics.
