PlanetBravo is currently the largest STEM Summer Camp in Los Angeles, as well as a provider of in-school computer instruction and one-to-one teacher training for technology integration. But it wasn't always that way! Back in 2003 at its creation, PlanetBravo was just one camp. Since then, it has grown to include nearly 40 local schools and recreation centers. We provide day-time classes in several school districts around Los Angeles, as well as special programs such as GATE and a girls club called "Code Like a Girl."
PlanetBravo's mission is to provide fun, confidence-boosting experiences that allow children to explore, study, and share multimedia technologies. We build children's confidence by showing them how to create something personal and special by acquiring challenging and new multimedia skills. We aim to make every one of our students happy through positive reinforcement, special recognition, and humor. Last and foremost, as teachers, we share a common mission with all teachers to nurture the knowledge of students.
PlanetBravo is a program designed by educator Danny Pezzotta, founder of Techno-tainment Camp in Beverly Hills. He and Yong Lee are partners in the program.
Danny is a CA credentialed teacher who taught 5th grade and later K-8 technology in the Beverly Hills Unified School District for six years. He has been coordinating and running after-school and summer technology programs since 1998. During his time in Beverly Hills, Danny was recognized with innovation awards by district, state, and national organizations.
Yong Lee is a father of five children who believes children build confidence by experiencing creative pursuits. He has also founded several high-tech educational and international communications companies.
PlanetBravo is your child's access to a modern, meaningful, and engaging education through computers and technology. We teach students to view technology as a tool that will help them in every aspect of the classroom, and provide them with the latest equipment available to seize the opportunity. We take the sometimes difficult topics of technology and media, and make them fun, easy to understand, and most importantly, connected to the world around them.
We've never met a computer lab we couldn't put to good use! Our instructors teach standards-based technology curriculum one to five days a week in local schools, exciting students with innovative lessons and fun coursework. Our classes also benefit the schools' teachers as well! Our instructors work with classroom teachers to integrate their current lessons, revamping them to include technology.
Through our program, students discover their digital options when met with a task. When assigned a book report, the typical student uses a computer to type it up and hand in however many pages are asked. A PlanetBravo student utilizes video cameras, green screens, presentation software and more to really bring the project to life and up off the page.
We feel supremely confident in our students because we know our instructors and staff are fun, caring, and knowledgeable. Every professional involved with PlanetBravo believes whole-heartedly in the value of technology in education, and will work with students as they gain self-confidence finding success with state-of-the-art media. It's an amazing thing to see.
