Spy Hop is a nonprofit digital media arts center offering free classes in film, music, audio, and design for students ages 12-20.

We provide classes at our center in Salt Lake City, as well as satellite locations and schools across Utah.

What's going on:

Power Up Applications Open!

Design and launch a video game!

Take your game from prototype to gold in Spy Hop’s advanced game design program, Power Up.

You will learn to think critically about games, how they are made, who makes them, representation in games, and what messages they hold.

As a team, you will build a game that will be green-lighted at a launch party in July!

Rent the Spy Hop Rooftop!

Indoor and Outdoor Event Space in Downtown SLC

Looking for an elevated, contemporary event space for your next corporate or personal event? The Spy Hop Rooftop allows for creativity, large scale projection, and the ability to host guests both inside and outside on our rooftop patio.

Beautiful and versatile, the Rooftop event space is an ideal space for weddings, parties, corporate seminars and much more. Located next to a Trax station for easy downtown access.

Proceeds from the Spy Hop Rooftop support our free Spy Hop programs for kids 12 – 20 🙂

We offer classes in film, music, audio, and design for students ages 12-20.

Our campus is open to all teens. The Spy Hop Rooftop event space is available to rent for all types of events.

We rely on donations to keep our doors open and our classes tuition-free. Learn how you can support Spy Hop!
