In 2019, Tech for Kids Academy was established with the aim of providing innovative educational solutions tailored for children. A year later, in 2020, the organization launched its official Facebook page. The decision to delay the page’s release was intentional, allowing sufficient time for comprehensive research into effective marketing techniques and the development of strategies to ensure the page’s sustained growth and relevance over time.

The Facebook page also serves as a central platform for clients and audiences to access key information about Tech for Kids Academy. This feature enhances engagement and provides a reliable resource for those seeking updates, insights, and services offered by the academy.

According to Tech for Kids Academy’s target audience, they have a larger Facebook following of parents and students. In any case, they still require additional social media channels to distribute their information because they still have a different kind of target audience, which is why they believe using several social media channels is necessary.

Furthermore, since most people today utilize smartphones and social media accounts, social media is a great tool for promoting their goals.

Writing code instructor Mrs. Sovandy of Teach for Kids Academy stated, “I have been teaching at this school for three years. Most of the students are six years and older, they learn how to write block code. The younger students more likely learn 3D design and printing.” 

According to Mr. Chealong, a mentor in 3D design and printing, Tech for Kids Academy “focuses on computer science, robotics, and engineering programs, which is why not all the children are passionate about it. However, if the children are interested in drawing, designing 3D images, writing code, or creating games, you should let them study here.”

Lay Sovan, an 11-year-old student at Tech for Kids Academy, said, “It was really fun to come to school and study what I am interested in.” Lay Chomnan, another student, stated, “My aunt brought me to this school because she saw what I was good at, and now I study it and am happy with it.”

Currently, they have three classes a week such as Saturday afternoon from 1pm-2:30 pm, Sunday morning from 8am-9:30am and Sunday afternoon from 1pm-2:30pm. Until today, more than 4,000 kids participate in Tech for Kids Academy these days, and the number is growing daily.
