Now more than ever, students are pursuing computer coding as a hobby and potential career opportunity. Hackingtons Code School for Kids teaches students how to build websites, code video games and participate in “hackathon” competitions. Visions homeschooler Xavier P. won third place for his video game design at a hackathon in Pleasant Hill!
Xavier created his game using Scratch a drag-and-drop coding platform developed by MIT University. Over 40 hackathon participants relied on their coding skills to build their games. No internet is allowed during the event so the final products are based entirely on what they’ve learned and their imaginations.

6th grader Xavier learned coding at Hackingtons. He codes daily and hopes to work for Treyarch, a video game development company, in the future. His winning game, Shark Defense, earned him a trophy and bragging rights.
Congratulations to Xavier for his impressive win!

Tiara is a multi-lingual soprano singer, member of Mensa (the high IQ society) and a Visions In Education homeschooler! If that’s not impressive enough she has been a college student since she was seven, sung at Carnegie Hall twice and recently released her first album, “Winter Nightingale”.
Tiara appeared on the Steve Harvey show and performed “Ave Maria”. She blew the crowd away with her performance and witty banter with Steve during her interview. She explained that she has taken nine semesters of Spanish, Italian and French and she’s currently learning German. She chatted with Steve about how she enjoys singing in Italian the most and they entertained the audience by comparing accents. Watch her amazing performance here.
Tiara’s enrollment at Visions In Education has allowed her the flexibility to manage her education, attend college, travel, perfect her singing skills and record an album. All of this hard work has earned her recognition and praise across the country. Learn more about Tiara and her accomplishments on her Facebook page.
