What Families Say...
" I love the work FICS does with my son. He's learning to code games, and fly drones, and he assembled a 3D printer last week. I can't wait to see what this kid does next." - Matthew
Our Goal
Family Institute for Computer Science (FICS) is a community organization begun by educators who wanted to bring what they were doing in the classroom to all ages in the surrounding area. Computer Science should not be a mystery, scary, or so costly that people can't access it.
Family Institute for Computer Science (FICS) was born. We offer classes and hands-on training with drones, coding, and IT for all ages. Donations are accepted.
Our training classes are hosted at various locations to reach the community-at-large.
