Xcelerate NC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in North Carolina, USA. Our mission is to accelerate the growth of young minds and help them excel.

Why Math?
At Xcelerate NC, we believe learning Math can be fun. We would like to share some of the innovative approaches and concepts that we have learnt and applied over the years. |
|
|
Why Programming and Technology?
Programming is becoming a more integral part of our lives every day. Learning how to code fosters creativity and innovation, while also improving critical thinking and problem solving skills. |
Why Public Speaking?
Public Speaking builds up confidence, improves communication skills, and helps in overall personal development. While we are taught various subjects in school, there are no courses in Public Speaking. Our belief is that if we can learn some of the techniques at an early age, it will help us throughout our lives.
