kadenze.com is celebrating its 3rd birthday!
We’re proud to offer access to high-quality education to a global community of curious minds. It’s our mission to promote creative thinking and expression across a diverse range of STEAM subjects.
Our courses have explored an incredible range of topics spanning graphic design, machine learning, art history, virtual reality, computer programming, music composition, sound design, and beyond. We are continually inspired by our learners and teachers, their extraordinary original work, and their invaluable discourse concerning all facets of creative practice including financial planning, contemporary pedagogy, social awareness, responsible design, and more.
Looking toward the future, we’re excited to continue the active expansion of our efforts to increase learner success and provide collaboration opportunities for engaged communities. In celebration of our achievements, we want to express thanks to you– our dedicated learners, who motivate us to create courses that help you explore your creative potential.
Here are some highlights of what we’ve been able to accomplish together:
