What is PlanetBravo?
PlanetBravo is currently the largest computer and technology Summer Camp in Los Angeles, as well as a provider of in-school computer instruction and after-school enrichment courses. 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 20 local schools and recreation centers. We provide day-time classes in several school districts around Los Angeles, and offer dozens of different after-school courses ranging from video game creation to web design to stop-motion movies made with LEGOs and everything in-between!
       Through it all, the emphasis has always been on creativity and fun. We want our students to explore - not just in the realm of technology - but also the creative potential bottled up inside of them. We say let it out!  It never ceases to amaze when we see what children can do, and at PlanetBravo we strive to continue their exploration, discovery, and education.

Nothing Else Like It
PlanetBravo is your child's solution to a better 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, meaningful.
      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.
