Introducing JAM Online Courses for Kids. JAM courses were created to help kids get skills they can’t get in school, and allow them to learn what they love (and love what they learn).
We don’t lecture kids at JAM. Instead, we invite kids to invent their own solutions within a safe and inspiring kid community. With 100s of hours of hands-on activities, our quests create a perfect circle of trying, failing, collaborating, and growing. Kids 8-14 can both learn from and teach each other in subjects that they love… like animation, illustration, inventing, cooking, singing, Minecraft, and more.

TO GET TO the spaceship convention I have to go to Chattanooga. To a former train depot once called Terminal Station, a beaux-arts building downtown, which was built in a time when trains were the apex of industry—the smartest, fastest, most high-tech way to move through space—and when stations were elegant ports of call. It has a soaring dome, and the bathrooms are naturally lit through stained glass.
Terminal Station closed in 1970, not quite a year after Apollo 11 landed on the Moon. The building reopened in 1973, four months after the Apollo program ended, as the Chattanooga Choo Choo Hotel. The new owners put a neon train on the roof, the concourse beneath the freestanding dome became a lobby, and the baggage room became a dining hall. Passenger cars were moored to the rails and refurbished as luxury suites. The iron horse engine became a thing for guests to climb aboard for selfies. The outbuildings and rail yards sprouted a gift shop, a pizza parlor, a comedy club, an indoor jungle-themed swimming pool, and an outdoor doughnut-shaped swimming pool, among other things.
Chattanooga is not quite the regional transportation hub it was in the latter golden age of rail travel, and in fact these days is kind of a pain in the ass to get to. So after 12 hours of planes, delays, and courtesy shuttles, I drop my baggage in my room and go looking for a drink. (read more)

AHHH EXCITEMENT!!!
“I realized, really for the first time, that people who didn’t even know me were wishing for my success — hoping to share in the pride of future accomplishments, but even more important, willing to provide encouragement in the face of disappointments. I hope that by sharing my experiences, others will be inspired to set high goals for themselves.”- Ellen Ochoa is the first Hispanic director of NASA’s Johnson Space Center and the first Hispanic woman to go to space.
Check out the in-depth Q&A with Ellen below!
“I love DIY because everyone is so nice, you can always find someone who likes the same thing you like (that that time) and because I am always being inspired by one person or another. DIY shows me things I wouldn’t have seen or tried.”
