What are STEM classes, and why are they important for kids?

STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and math. While these subjects make up the STEM curriculum, at its core, STEM is also about problem-solving , creativity and teaching students to think in new ways . With more and more job opportunities in STEM, helping your child excel in these subjects early is a great way to set them up for future success.

Our STEM camps are great in the summer, spring or anytime of the year!

Our innovative STEM camps are great options for students in elementary through early high school.

What’s included

Robotics camps (Grades 1 6) In our Robotics camps, kids learn how to build and program a variety of robots using LEGO® bricks and award-winning software. Kids bring their LEGO creations to life (how cool is that?). Each theme-based session encourages creativity and imagination as kids brainstorm, build and experiment with amazing robots.

Engineering camps (Grades 1 6) In our engineering camps, kids turn into real engineers: designing, evaluating and reconstructing machines and super structures. (The creations are inspired by real-life structures from all over the globe and get more amazing with imagination!) Every project has a clever theme to spark imaginations and turn problem-solving and skill-building into a fun game.

Fit4Algebra camps (Grades 6 9) We get kids in tip-top shape for algebra, using an engaging mix of activities to ensure math muscles are strong and fit.
