That’s why we operate two Alcon Research Clinics, located in Fort Worth, Texas and the Johns Creek area near Atlanta, Georgia. By participating in our short-term clinical studies, you’re contributing to vision science research and the development of eye care solutions.

<ul>I’m Anthony, a former Fortune 100 manager with a Master’s in Computer Science from Columbia. I built Cenestro to bridge a specific gap: Students spend years learning theory, but graduate without the proof of accomplishments the world now rewards.
Games are the hook. Through this 60-day guided build, your child moves from an empty file to a fully functional, playable game—learning the foundational math, logic, and coding needed to move into building AI, robotics, and financial models.
What students get:
<ul><li>A structured 60-day build cycle: Active building from first principles (not passive lessons).</li><li>Real technical depth: Integrated coding, applied math, and system design.</li><li>A finished project: Something tangible they can actually explain and showcase.</li><li>The foundation: The prerequisite to unlock accelerated advanced tracks.</li></ul>
The Founding Pilot:
We are waiving tuition for this initial cohort in exchange for feedback as we prepare for our full launch.
<ul><li>Starts: June 1 (Guided/Online)</li><li>Cost: $0 (No credit card required. Simple parent sign-up.)</li><li>Access: The first 50 registrations are guaranteed access; others will be wait-listed.</li></ul></ul>
