Meet Our Team
Bob Mancini, CEO
Bob started TechKnowHow in 1994 so that students could explore and use technology in interesting ways. First through creative classroom projects, and then through after-school enrichment and summer programs, Bob found ways for students to combine technology with their creativity and higher-level thinking, such as visual programming for elementary school students. He designed and taught the courses over the first ten years and continues to oversee the development of our program curriculum.
Bob graduated from UCLA, has a Masters in Science from Carnegie-Mellon (MSIA), and a post-baccalaureate teaching certificate.

Coolest Minifigure? "Explanation"
Our team develops curriculum year-round so that we can provide new projects with cutting-edge technology
and lessons each summer. Our teaching staff loves working with
students and loves science and technology.
We begin classes with a quick overview of concepts, then students get started on their projects. Teachers engage with students while they are working on their projects, assisting them and answering questions. At appropriate stages of the project, students test the performance of what they've created, interacting with other campers and the teachers in the process.
We've been providing tech programs to students in the Bay Area for over 26 years.
During that time, we've taught over 30,000 students!
We take our role as educators and motivators seriously...and our camps are seriously fun!
We recently received these awards from Bay Area Parent magazine:
