One homeschooling parent's comment: "Eyebeam has a rolling and open admission. Each month they focus on a different thing, but will do whatever the kid wants. They also work on long term projects with the individual. This is a great program that my son highly recommends! He has learned so many different programs that we don't have in our home, including: how to make a website, a blog, beginning programming and developing games. It is totally free! You can drop in without reserving a spot each week, so it's very easy to attend. Meet up and hang out with other home schooled kids and learn some great new technology! "
