Richardson, TX – Nov 14, 2025 – HiWave Makers today announced the launch of its AI Arcade Challenge, a six-week online program designed to make STEAM education fun, accessible, and unforgettable. Aimed at kids ages 8–15, the program combines live instruction with hands-on building, as participants create their own mini basketball arcade game while learning coding, AI basics, and problem-solving skills.
With the rapid growth of STEAM careers and demand for practical learning, families are seeking meaningful enrichment options beyond the classroom. HiWave Makers eliminates barriers by shipping a complete kit and recording setup directly to families’ homes — so kids can focus on creating, and parents can simply enjoy the journey.
“We created this program to make STEAM more fun and accessible for families everywhere,” said Ricky Flores, founder of HiWave Makers. “When kids build their own arcade game, they’re not just playing — they’re learning coding, problem-solving, and confidence they’ll carry for life.”
Parents also benefit from HiWave Makers’ stress-free approach. “We ship everything to their door. No shopping lists, no stress — just a clear path to a project kids will never forget,” Flores added.
