Baker Sr. is a former Broadcast/Video Production teacher who has dedicated himself to helping students reach their full potential. He has over 25 years of broadcast experience working previously at FOX, CBS, NBC, and TNT Sports. Global Tech Academy's mission is to empower a new generation of students by integrating technology programs into everyday life, to pave the way for the future. GTA's Robotics program offers the basics of STEM education using the Lego Mindstorm Robotics kits. Students use a hands-on approach while using the latest in tools for designing and programming robots. This collaboration with the STEM initiative helps students with Science, working with gears and pulleys, programming, creating sensors and learning how robots and human interact with their environment. Our program encourages students to excel. Students quickly realize that challenges and mistakes are some of the best ways to learn. Students will experience challenges and find solutions to the problems. GTA also understands the importance of providing quality after school enrichment programs that benefit students, their families, schools and their community. Our programs are designed to (a) help improve the academic performance of participating students; (b) contribute to raising students' self-confidence; and (c) develop greater interest from families to be involved in their child's learning.

We teach coding and computer science to children, K-12, and introduce them to new ways to problem solve and explore curiosity and creativity.
What We Do
We are creating a generation of problem solvers and innovators through coding and computer science principles.
Designing and coding video games is something we believe any child with a computer and desire to learn is capable of doing. In summary, our mission is to teach coding and computer science to children, K-12, and introduce them to new ways to problem solve and explore curiosity and creativity. We do this because we feel strongly that this learning style will help them grow into better problem solvers who don’t give up when given a challenge, but instead embrace it as an opportunity.
The Approach
Embrace mistakes: Evidence suggests during initial learning students retain more information if they’re given the freedom to make mistakes. Encourage them to learn and grow in confidence through mistakes as they seek an answer.
Enjoy learning: Learning and problem solving can be fun through creative activities like coding and game design.
Explore computer science: Computer science is a powerful medium in which students can express themselves to solve challenges in unique ways to enhance their creativity and problem solving.
