History[edit]
Empow Studios was founded by Leonid Tunik, an entrepreneur in the educational technology industry. In 2006, recognizing the need to engage students into technology and engineering early on in their education, Leonid Tunik began teaching after-school classes in animation and video game design to kids in elementary grades. In 2013, he took this project to the LearnLaunch startup accelerator program, LearnLeaunchX[2][3][4] and set up a permanent location for camps, classes, and the after-school program in the historic center of Lexington, MA. Empow Studios also operates a new location in Newton, MA as of 2018.[5]
