Our Mission

Our mission is to provide accessible and affordable education in the field of animation to underprivileged children who may not have the resources to pursue their dreams.

So how do we do that you may ask…

Through Workshop

Participates in our in-person workshops explore technology and tools that would be out of reach for most. They receive expert instruction and the opportunity to continue their education and training.

Through QUED Academy

QUED Academy was built because we recognize that inclusion and equality is important. Not all students are local so we built an online platform for those students looking to explore technology, up-skill for the job market, and those looking for expert training.
